Oxfam America’s Scott Paul has stressed that aid to Gaza “can’t work while the bombs are falling and destroying houses, factories, farms, mills, [and] bakeries”, Al Jazeera reports.
“There’s no point in bringing in flour if you can’t bake bread with it. So the focus is entirely wrong,” Paul told Al Jazeera.
He said there is a “wide gulf” between the Biden administration and the rest of the world on what’s really needed in Gaza; most countries support an immediate ceasefire while the US remains opposed to such a move.
“There is a problem to be solved in terms of the mechanism of aid delivery,” Paul added.
