If they’d dropped it in the 1st 24 hrs, they wouldn’t be starving & thirty. Drop enough and no food riots are necessary

Ever had to deal with large scale operations?

You said “If they’d dropped it in the 1st 24 hrs, they wouldn’t be starving & thirty.......”

Does your plan use Fixed wing or rotor wing Aircraft? Fixed wing is faster so you'd need to round up enough parachutes to cover all the drops. How many towns, big cities, villages hamlets and isolated homes will need supplies. Do they all need supplies? Only some? Which ones. Riggers to pack and rig the bundles, parachutes, pallets, containers, etc, etc, etc.

Aircraft flight times, where are they, how long to get them to the staging area? Crew rest? Round trip flight time? Crew rest - again? Will that strip operations in the middle east and other parts of the world?

Where are all the supplies? Will they have to be moved to the staging area where the bundles are being packed? How long will that take?

I could go on but I hope you get my point.

Large Scale Military operations do not happen with a snap of the fingers. 24 hours to blanket a country with food, water, medicine and supplies for millions of people? Ain't going to happen.
