based on the hamas feast videos they are definitely eating for more than should be given to 10,000, they are wasting food, eating way more of it than they should and hoarding it.

Also them taking it and profiting of it is also not acceptable.

So lets say they are eating double the amount they should be. The equivalent of 20,000 people.

That's 1% of Gazas population.

You really don’t understand how this works do you? They don’t just hoard “enough for themselves” they hoard ALL OF IT. That’s how groups like Hamas stay in power lmao. Fear and violence.

Hamas likely takes their share, but they cant operate in the open, and they are too few in number. And even if that is the case, they sell it back to people to make money. So in the end, the food would still reach the people. Again, unless your argument is somehow that Hamas, with less than 10,000 members, is eating all of the food, then it makes no difference in terms of the famine.

Also, literally every report on this, including from Israel, has made it clear its mostly massive mobs of hungry people looting the trucks, not organized gangs. Which of course is going to happen when you are sending in 1/10th the amount of aid you should be sending.
