Moreover, around 300 humanitarian workers have been killed in the bombings in the space of eleven months. This aid can come in the form of direct support for governments of countries concerned, for example by mobilising armies in the face of natural catastrophes. For over 70 years, UNRWA has been the backbone of social support and health assistance for Palestinian civilians.
All kinds of politicisation of State aid are as old as States themselves. In this way, Europe and the US use aid to depoliticise Gazans as citizens with legal rights: both Europe and the US limit themselves to humanitarian charity instead of actually imposing proper application of the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, the decisions of the ICJ and respect for requests made by the UNHRC, which evokes Gazans’ right to life.
These States preferred to defend an absurd operation – dispatching aid by sea – rather than defend a ceasefire that would have properly paved the way for aid – already amassed in bordering regions – to be sent in by land. Second, we will look at the persistent use of sieges and military blockades as tools of modern barbarity in these two regions.
Kyiv had previously consistently backed UN resolutions denouncing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
Meanwhile, images depicting the “horrors” of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza have created a sense of empathy among Ukrainians who now are unable to ignore the parallels with their own experiences of war, she said.
Kishchuk has also been buoyed by a change of tone among government officials in recent months.
In December, in something of a shift, Zelenskyy said Ukraine recognises the independence of both the Israeli and Palestinian people.
Zelenskyy: Ukraine is ready to help Gaza
Ukraine’s President has insisted that Kyiv recognises both Israel and Palestine, calling to an end to the Israeli offensive on Gaza and urging for a two-state solution.
At the Shangri-La Dialogue conference in Singapore on Sunday, Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was asked a question by a journalist regarding Kyiv’s general support for Tel Aviv, particularly following the 7 October attacks by Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas.
Zelenskyy highlighted Ukraine’s offer to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip throughout Israel’s ongoing bombardment, and stressed that both periods should “not be mixed together”.

Reiterating Ukraine’s official stance that “if Hamas terrorists attacked civilians on the first day of their attack on Israel, then Israel has the right to defend itself”, the President claimed that “when Israel was in Gaza and there was a humanitarian crisis, Ukraine said: Firstly, we are ready to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza.”
Zelenskyy insisted that his government’s second position was that “we must respect international law.
Its health system works relatively well, even though it has now been affected by nearly three years of war, damage inflicted on more than 500 health structures and over 130 doctors being killed. Following several weeks spent trying to set up this aid corridor and technical problems due to bad weather, the initiative was abandoned in the end. Furthermore, famine may not be used as a weapon of war.
Most foreign NGOs in Ukraine have focussed on helping evacuate casualties from critical zones, on logistical assistance for withstanding cold conditions, on access to healthcare for displaced people in precarious situations and the elderly inside the country, on violence relating to gender and on mental health issues – some of these missions not being priorities in local health policies.
In the context of occupations or military operations, the confusion between military affairs and humanitarian aid is a well-documented tendency in many circumstances, whether in the American intervention in Afghanistan following the attacks on 11 September 2001 or, more recently, in France’s intervention in the Sahel region, to give just two examples.
“All kinds of politicisation of State aid are as old as States themselves.
And according to some, it even aims to eradicate all Gazan civilians, who are accused of being “all responsible” for the pervading insecurity. In July 2024, the United Nations evoked an intentional famine of a genocidal nature in light of the number of concrete cases of malnourished children in Gaza. Embargoes especially impact civilian populations, who become victims of economic recessions and of general social impoverishment.
Their access to healthcare was limited by a local health system crushed by equipment shortages, staff exhaustion and the demolition of hospitals and health centres. Aroggi quickly secured a new role for himself as a correspondent for a prominent news channel.
Less than two years later, war broke out again in his homeland with the latest escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
To some observers, there were parallels between Russia and Israel and Ukraine and the Palestinians.
But in a swift and unequivocal response to the outbreak of the war in Gaza, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threw his support behind Israel, like much of the Ukrainian population, and almost all Western leaders.
“I saw a double standard.
Politicisation of aid also finds expression in sanctions and counterterrorist measures at international, national and regional levels. The President of the embattled European nation also stated that his government has invited both the Israeli and Palestinian sides to the upcoming global peace summit which is set to take place on 15-16 June in Switzerland’s Burgenstock resort.

Zelensky: Ukraine recognizes both Israel and Palestine, seeks to end suffering of civilians
Ukraine recognizes both Israel and Palestine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in Singapore on June 2, calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza.
Kyiv voiced support for Israel after it came under a deadly attack by the Hamas militant organization in October 2023.
Gaza is an example of this.
