Médecins Sans Frontières: America’s decision to create a sea corridor is a distraction from the realities of Gaza

Doctors Without Borders called the US plan to create a temporary dock to bring aid to Gaza by sea a “dramatic deviation from reality” and what is happening in Gaza.

Avril Benoit, executive director of Doctors Without Borders, said: “The US plan to build a temporary dock in Gaza to increase the flow of humanitarian aid is a distraction from the real problems in Gaza: Israel’s indiscriminate and disproportionate military campaign and the blockade. Punishment of civilians”.

Benoit added: America should instead increase the pressure on Israel to provide permission to send food and medical aid through land routes. This is not a logistical problem, it is a political problem. Instead of focusing on the construction of this maritime corridor, America should insist on the immediate access of the people of Gaza to aid through the existing routes.
The head of the Doctors Without Borders organization also emphasized that, in the opinion of this organization, a ceasefire is the only way to truly guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

While the United States is the largest financial and arms supporter of the Zionist regime in Gaza and is facing a lot of criticism from the international community, Joe Biden, in his annual speech to the US Congress on Thursday night, criticized the decision of Washington and other countries to create a maritime corridor to send Humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip was announced in the context of Tel Aviv’s obstruction of sending aid through the available routes, including the Rafah crossing and Kerem Shalom crossing.
