Humanitarianism Contested: The Challenge of Aid to Gaza - What is the future of aid and governance within Gaza?

By Network 20/20

It has now surpassed six months since the explosion of war between Israel and Gaza. This war has unsurprisingly caused high tensions among policymakers and the public across the globe, and the issue of basic humanitarian aid has become a centerpiece of this growing crisis. An alarming death toll continues to rise, the UNWRA has come under extreme scrutiny, and basic aid into Gaza has become a topic of contention and scenes of violence, including the highly publicized deaths of World Central Kitchen aid workers. Important questions over how to safely allow aid into Gaza, how NGOs across the world are trying to tackle this crisis, and the role of regional powers are all crucial topics to averting further escalation of human suffering. At this point, how can we assess the efforts of the UN and other intervening NGOs? What are the challenges unique to sending aid into Gaza? How can the looming famine be averted? What is the future of aid and governance within Gaza?

Join us on Tuesday, April 16th from 12 to 1 PM EDT as we tackle these questions and more with Amr Hamzawy, Senior Fellow and Director of the Carnegie Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment; R. David Harden, Managing Director of the Georgetown Strategy Group, and Professor Thomas G. Weiss, Presidential Professor of the Graduate Center and Director Emeritus of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at the City University of New York, for an engaging and important discussion on one of the defining crises of the modern era.
