Canada has chained drops in humanitarian aid in Gaza since last week, but this effort to help citizens trapped in the Palestinian enclave is hardly risking improving the situation that is getting worse day by day.

“It is a drop of water in an ocean of humanitarian needs,” said Guillaume Lavallée, former head of the office of the France-Presse agency in Jerusalem, in an interview on LCN waves on Monday evening.
Nearly 10 tonnes of essential resources were parachuted by the Canadian armed forces on Monday. However, these quantities are largely below needs.

“If you do the calculation of 2 million people, then you divide by 10 tonnes of help, you can see that it is not enough,” says Lavallée.
Canada is not the only country to have taken the initiative to send humanitarian aid to Gaza. Other countries such as France have also dropped resources, informs the guest in an interview.

But according to him, the solution does not reside in the increase in resource drops.
“We cannot go there by road, because the Israelis block it,” recalls Mr. Lavallée. “The aid that comes by the road is all prepositioned to the Gaza border.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney assured earlier that Canada was going to support its initiatives to help Palestinians in Gaza.
“The humanitarian disaster in Gaza worsens quickly,” he wrote on his X account. Canada intensifies its efforts with its international partners to develop a credible peace plan, and it will ensure that sufficient aid is provided. “
