Most people think that Gaza is a place of utter desolation, with humanitarian aid being withheld by the cruel Israelis, a place of unspeakable deprivation. It’s not true. Huge amounts of humanitarian aid is now flowing into Gaza, some 1400 truckloads every week at present, thanks to the help of the IDF. But once those trucks are inside Gaza, Hamas operatives take control and direct the trucks to their own warehouses, where they unload much of that aid, some of which remains to be distributed to Hamas members for their extended families, and the rest is kept for resale, at extravagant prices, to the Gazan civilians who were supposed to receive that humanitarian aid for free.
