The food is there, it’s just being controlled by Hamas:
In a conversation with i24NEWS, sources indicated that out of approximately 200 aid trucks that entered Gaza in the last few days, over 170 were reportedly robbed. Residents of Gaza suggest that this systematic theft is a tactic used by Hamas to maintain control over the flow of aid.
According to Mekorot, the organization behind the report, many of the robbers are affiliated with gangs and militias that operate under Hamas’s influence. These groups reportedly charge transit taxes ranging from $27,000 to $50,000, or 50% of the value of the truck’s contents. Some militias receive a monthly payment of $10,000 from Hamas to ensure that they prevent any interference with the aid deliveries.
Additionally, Hamas has assigned specific routes to these gangs, particularly in southern Gaza, to regulate the distribution of humanitarian aid, ensuring that it reaches only their members in exchange for wages or food coupons.
As a result of this crisis, essential goods are being sold at exorbitant prices, with bags of flour costing $700, bags of rice at $500, and packs of cigarettes reaching about $1,500.
