Merely to give the appearance of helping.

It is also too late, and too little. The starvation is now baked in.

If Israel really wanted to fulfill its obligations, it would not have done what it has, since March 2nd, when it imposed a total siege.

It knowingly allowed the starvation to be baked in. Because it's a fucking GENOCIDAL STATE!

Edited to add:
It would also have allowed unimpeded access for UN trucks and not have bombed and invaded the city in which the main UN/WHO aid hub is located (also bombed) in recent days - making it very difficult for humanitarians to do their job. It is STILL impeding UN aid. Yesterday it approved only 8 out of 16 UN requests to pick up aid and created insurmountable difficulties for two others. It does everything it can, for 21 months now, to slow, block or impede aid. We know why.
