Insulin needles. Sleeping bags. Nutella. These are items Arwa Damon’s charity — <a href="https://inara.org/"target="_blank" >International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance</a> — has tried to send to Gaza and Israel has rejected. It’s a glimpse into the harsh reality of a humanitarian crisis with no end in sight. Today on the show, we talk to Damon about the economics of running a humanitarian nonprofit and what’s stopping more aid from reaching Gaza. Related episodes: <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1197962271/why-israel-uses-diaspora-bonds"target="_blank" >Why Israel uses diaspora bonds</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/06/05/1197965031/the-indicator-from-planet-us-aid-israel-military-policy--06-05-2024"target="_blank" >Why the U.S. helps pay for Israel’s military</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1197956089/the-indicator-from-planet-money-egypt-gaza-refugees"target="_blank" >What could convince Egypt to take Gaza’s refugees?</a> For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at <a href="http://plus.npr.org/"target="_blank" >plus.npr.org</a>. Fact-checking by <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/g-s1-26724/sierra-juarez"target="_blank" >Sierra Juarez</a>.
