Why would we have *any* reason to believe food aid is distributed evenly in Gaza? Gaza is an active war zone and getting enough food to millions of people day in and day out is a Herculean effort. Aid trucks only solve 1 part of the supply chain issue, you have to get the food through border crossings, offload it at centralized locations, distribute it to aid kitchens and households, etc.


I mean we do know according to Gazan propaganda that someone is taking all the aid packages and selling them around. I don't know who it could be other than other Gazans.

That's part of the problem, certainly, but it's made much worse by the massive logistical difficulties transporting and distributing aid to millions of people in a war zone. Even without Hamas hoarding supplies and some people selling food for a profit, it would still be a monumental challenge.

Idk if its only Hamas stealing aid to sell. The resources gained from that would be relatively minimal. They might be hoarding to feed their fighters I guess. It is probably just local gangs.
