No more free-for-alls in Gaza with looters – or even desperate civilians – ripping supplies off humanitarian aid trucks heading to distribution centers
At least, that is the intention behind the new rules for aid distribution to be managed by US private contractors in collaboration with international aid organizations and secured by Israeli forces.
However, here’s the first caveat: “Due to logistical delays” the new system for aid distribution will not open on Sunday as previously announced by the political echelon, but instead has been postponed by several days, according to Hebrew-language Israeli journalist Yinon Shalom Yatach.
Instead, humanitarian aid will be distributed on Sunday using the “old” method – meaning there is a good chance that at least some of that aid will once again reach the hands of Hamas, rather than the Gaza civilians for whom it was intended.
