Are US and EU plans to send supplies to Gaza credible?

Famine looms in parts of Gaza as Israel’s war on the beseiged territory enters its sixth month.

As many Palestinians in Gaza face starvation from Israel’s war and siege, the United States and European Union have revealed plans to send aid supplies.
