While the aid is welcome, I wonder why more isn't being done to stop the root cause of this suffering? The international community needs to push harder for ceasefire negotiations. Innocent civilians shouldn't pay the price of conflicts.

UAE setting a great example of humanitarian leadership! 👏 India has also sent medical aid to Gaza recently. Our PM Modi always says "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - the world is one family. Proud to see countries helping each other in difficult times.

The numbers are impressive - 66 airdrops and nearly 4000 tonnes of aid! But I worry about how much actually reaches the people who need it most. These operations must ensure proper distribution channels to prevent misuse.

As someone who has worked in disaster relief, I know how challenging airdrops can be. Hats off to the UAE and partner nations for this sustained effort. Maybe India could share our expertise in mass food distribution through our PDS system?

The situation in Gaza breaks my heart 💔. While I appreciate the aid, I wish our media would show more balanced coverage of this crisis. The human cost is unbearable - we must think beyond politics and focus on saving lives.
