Hamas is not distributing it to the people

Results from a scientific study published on June 2 indicate that food shipments to Gaza are enough to feed the enclave’s entire population of approximately 2.4 million. The study, authored by a group of Israeli academics and public health officials, also found that the nutritional content of the aid exceeds the internationally accepted Sphere guidelines for humanitarian efforts. Leveraging data from Israel’s Coordination of Government Territories (COGAT), the researchers analyzed aid deliveries by land and air between January and April 2024. They concluded that the average “per capita per day energy supplied was 3,374 [calories]” and that “energy, protein, and fat amounts exceed Sphere recommendations.” According to the Sphere guidelines, the average recommended daily nutritional intake is 2,100 calories per person.
“There have been relentless accusations that Israel does not allow enough aid into Gaza, contributing to a dire shortage of food. By challenging that conventional wisdom, this study may help refocus attention on how groups within Gaza prevent aid from reaching Palestinians. Remember, when aid first rolled off the U.S.-built pier on the Gaza coast, deliveries had to be suspended because looters pillaged so many trucks.” — David Adesnik, FDD Senior Fellow and Director of Research
“Hamas has made clear through its looting, attacking humanitarian aid crossings, and illicitly selling donated aid at sky-high prices, that starving Palestinians hurts Israel more than it hurts Hamas. Likewise, Egypt has refused to open the Rafah crossing that would facilitate aid into Gaza. Instead, Cairo has covered up for the massive underground smuggling ring that has thwarted aid getting to needy Gazans. Rather than blaming Israel, which sends hundreds of aid trucks a day into Gaza, those who really care about ensuring aid gets to Gazans should put the malign activities of Hamas and Egypt under a microscope. They will find addressing this corruption would go a long way to helping those in need.” — Toby Dershowitz, Managing Director of FDD Action
