# Oxfam says the airdrops of aid and a trickle of trucks won’t undo months of engineered starvation in Gaza. Israel, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates dropped aid into Gaza over the weekend, a method sharply criticised by humanitarian groups as expensive, inefficient, and dangerous. Israeli forces have killed over a thousand people seeking food in recent months. Oxfam says what is needed is the immediate opening of all crossings for full, unhindered, and safe aid delivery across all of Gaza, along with a permanent ceasefire.
