On August 14, more than 100 aid organisations, including prominent groups such as Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Amnesty International, and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), condemned Israel’s weaponisation of aid, saying it was obstructing life-saving assistance from entering Gaza.

@msbellows To be fair, my experience was mainly with the humanitarian side of USAID (OFDA, before it merged with Food for Peace to become the Bureau for Humanitarian Affairs), so it was at least trying to respond humanitarian crises based on need, per the fundamental humanitarian principles. I also collaborated with their Global Development Lab (a sort-of aid IT incubator), which was great.

On the development-aid side, on the other hand, nearly all rich countries use aid to at least some extent as an extension of foreign policy, rewarding friends, punishing foes, and buying favours/influence. I'm sure USAID was no different than, say, Global Affairs Canada, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, or the UK Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office in that regard. 🙁

Cyprus sends 1,200 tons of aid for Gaza via sea

The Cypriot foreign ministry said on Tuesday that the humanitarian aid had been pre-screened, and would be transferred to Gaza without additional security checks once it arrives in the southern Israeli port of Ashdod.

The aid would be distributed by the World Central Kitchen, and the foreign ministry said that the process was being delivered as part of the United Nations’ aid delivery mechanism.

Parachutes drop humanitarian aid over Rafah as residents face starvation due to the blockade imposed by Israel. More than 100 aid organisations working in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have accused Israel of dangerously ‘weaponising aid’ in its application of new rules for registering groups involved in delivering humanitarian assistance.
