minus-squarelivuslinkfedilink12•edit-26 months agoSorry to burst your bubble but it’s technically incapable of enabling sufficient aid. the US plan is to start with 70 trucks worth of aid and ramp it up to 100 trucks even before the war Gaza needed about 400 trucks of aid, that was when people still had homes and hospitals there are IDF outposts on each side of the pier meaning it could become a choke point just like the crossings the IDF have reinvaded the North where the worst of the famine is the closing of the Rafah crossing means famine conditions are rapidly worsening in the South as well now. once people are actually starving, you need aid workers to distribute aid.
