The opening of the humanitarian aid distribution centers marks the beginning of the end of Hamas rule, an Israeli source told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday as the IDF announced the two large food distribution centers, which are said to be able to feed up to 600,000 Palestinians over the course of a week.
This is happening alongside the decisive military defeat of Hamas through intense and widespread fighting that includes conquering, clearing areas, and holding them, according to the source.
Despite Hamas’s attempts to prevent the population from reaching the aid centers, the terror organization is failing.
The more Hamas tries to continue blocking the population, the more it will face mass resistance, the source said.
Activists from protest groups Tzav 9 and the "Generation of Victory" blocked humanitarian aid trucks bound for Gaza at the Ashdod Port on Tuesday morning, the organizations said.
Challenges in aid distribution in Gaza
On Saturday, five aid trucks were taken over by looters, according to Israeli media. The stolen goods were sold to Gazans at inflated prices in areas such as Deir el-Balah and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
On Friday, 15 World Food Program trucks were looted overnight in the Strip that were carrying humanitarian aid.
A hundred trucks carrying humanitarian aid from the UN and the international community, including flour, baby food, and medical equipment, were transferred on Wednesday through the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza after Israel lifted an 11-week blockade and began allowing limited deliveries into the enclave via the crossing.
