> The U.N. says at least 500 trucks a day of aid and commercial goods need to enter Gaza. In April, an average of 189 trucks entered a day - the highest since the war started.[0]
There's no right for 'commercial goods'. The only issue in question is food, and trucks with food going in are twice the prewar level (the rest was mostly construction goods used for we know what exactly - that's not gonna go in).
What would clothes be categorised? Medical supplies? Only food? Sanitary napkins? Shoes? Israel doesn't need to provide this, just let what is needed for 2 million people to live given by the whole world.
Yeah, of course medical supplies count, I'm just saying there's no right for commercial traffic per se - the prewar count had a lot of stuff that's not relevant. The typical procedure is that Israel inspects the cargo and allows stuff not in a dual use list.
Who writes the list? Can their definition of dual use be relied upon to not be self serving?
Given the people in question are the ones with a vested interest in stamping out as much life as possible, I find it difficult to believe that this is even a tenable stop point for cognitive processing for anyone but someone who couldn't be bothered one way or the other.
