    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.

      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.

          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?

              I’m very committed to the truth. Good, bad, or ugly. Misinformation is one of the rare things that I will contest with such conviction. It’s not about convincing that one person to read the article, but hopefully preventing the spread of misinformation to others.
