anyone know why we're dropping MREs into Gaza instead of HDRs?

@isaiah_bb taskandpurpose.com/news/us-airdro… I found this article that explained it.
@DecolonizeKant this article doesn't actually answer the question
@isaiah_bb @DecolonizeKant “This was something that we were able to pull from our stocks,” Singh said. “At the time, we needed to get meals there as quickly as we can. I think we’re looking at all options. As you can appreciate: This is the first, initial airdrop"
@isaiah_bb @DecolonizeKant Article implies it was just what they could deploy immediately
@sorkincel @DecolonizeKant having worked in government communications my whole career, I don't consider a press secretary's talking point an answer to a tough question, or the transcription of such real journalism. but yeah, maybe its what they had laying around.
@isaiah_bb @DecolonizeKant Fair it's the reason the pentagon gave idk if it's the real one
@isaiah_bb @sorkincel @DecolonizeKant The alternative to “it’s what we had laying around” is that the DOD is intentionally withholding HDR’s for Gazans for some reason, which would be weird.
