"The only reason there is starvation in Gaza is because IDF is preventing aid from entering the territory and are refusing to let real humanitarian organization

"The only reason there is starvation in Gaza is because IDF is preventing aid from entering the territory and are refusing to let real humanitarian organizations work safely there." This is not accurate to say the least. Trucks do get in but Hamas and armed groups control the supplies and prevent a fair distribution

No. It’s pretty well-established that even if the distribution were perfect, there simply aren’t enough trucks going in.

Flood the relatively tiny area, with enough deliveries directly to the right places and people, with more food and supplies than is needed.

The boxes weigh 44 lb. Imagine sick, injured, and starved people attempting to carry those. Also original UN plans called for hundreds more distribution sites.

Every humanitarian organisation on the ground have said that these claims are false. What they HAVE claimed is that the gangs that are raiding aid are doing so with the support of the IDF: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-aid-looting-gangs-yasser-abu-shabab-israel-netanyahu-hamas This was the first result of many. I have heard these claims from many many sources for at least 6 months, despite having actively avoiding reading about Gaza.

  Looting also has a much lower incentive if you flood the now much tinier area where people live with more food, medical supplies, etc, than they need.

    Yeah, apart from everything else, the Israeli argument was not even logical: Hamas is stealing supplies to sell at inflated prices - so we have to restrict supply and ensure the prices inflate even more?

  There are videos of civilians storming Hamas warehouses and being shot and Hamas on aid trucks. https://x.com/HilzFuld/status/1949860272820125701 https://x.com/HilzFuld/status/1949860272820125701 If your main source is aid organisations then be aware UNRWA employ members of Hamas and the staff at many others call for the death of Jews on their personal social media.

    UNRWA being infiltrated would at least be theoretically plausible (even though Israel is lacking evidence even for that, apart from a small number of workers). But this argument falls flat when essentially EVERY aid and human rights organization that operates in the strip is saying the same thing. (With the notable exception of one: The GHF) Claiming that the ENTIRE global human rights system is engaged in a coordinated misinformation campaign against Israel is conspiracy theory levels of delusional.
