5. Exclusive / Not Sustainable / Not Scalable - This does not create a sustainable system of aid delivery that can be ramped up by including other aid actors to meet increasing need.

6. Prevents Additional Intervention - By trying to solve the famine via airdrops instead of on-the-ground distros, it cuts out any opportunity for additional interventions or assessments. Handing out aid is only half of our jobs, reporting on conditions to know what to do next is just as important.

Another point: feeding people who are dying of starvation could kill them (refeeding syndrome). The food dropped by air needs people on the ground to make sure it's distributed safely.

All of these are reasons why air dropping is not the best or preferred way of delivering aid, not arguments that it’s worse than doing nothing.
