A US official told CNN that the Defense Department and UN are still working to determine how much aid can be held at he staging area inside Gaza at any given time.
The amount of aid getting to the Gaza shoreline from its initial staging area in Cyprus has also fallen short of initial Pentagon estimates.
The problem is occurring at the point of delivery to Gaza, where “a group of men in Gaza” are detaining the aid and refusing delivery out of skepticism. In turn, the aid is backed up in the previous holding area, hence the need for discussion of alternate routes.
He added that aid had been held in an assembly area on shore, but as of Tuesday had begun getting moved to warehouses for distribution throughout Gaza as alternative routes have been established.
The point about “several desperate Gazans” taking aid from the trucks was to illustrate the need for food and supplies. Several people did not walk away with truckloads of aid.
This is now the second time I’m quoting this sentence. I suggest you read it this time.
Over the weekend, as trucks began moving the aid delivered off the floating pier, CNN reported that a group of men in Gaza intercepted the aid, saying they did not trust that it was actually meant for the Palestinian people.
The problem is not quantity of aid at the pier. They are storing surplus in warehouses due to it being undeliverable. The obstacle is getting it into Gaza past those who are intercepting it.
None of that says Hamas.
It’s also neither the US nor Israel, which was your claim. It was intercepted by men in Gaza, and not passed on to the residents.

It doesn’t say a group of men are detaining the aid, it says a group of desperate Gazan took the aid.
The solution is shockingly simple, send more aid so people aren’t so desperate.

Right. Keep reading. Several people didn’t walk away with truckloads of aid. What happened to the vast majority of the aid according to the article?
Why are you arguing with clinically stupid people here? Why waste so much time on this when they have already made up their mind?
So what do you suggest? Armed military personnel fight their way there to deliver it?
Also do you honestly believe hamas would openly say “yeah we are blocking the aid”?
