Rotting in the sun

The Times of Israel's daily news briefing discusses the humanitarian aid problem in Gaza, as well as discussing what a Trump presidency will mean for the war.

About the humanitarian aid, there's been a lot in the news about the US trying to get Israel to let more into Gaza. What hasn't been addressed by the press is the fact that some aid trucks that have gone into Gaza ... currently at least 900 trucks ... are just sitting on the other side of the crossing points, with no UN or other agency picking them up and distributing them.

Why are they not being picked up and distributed? First of all, it is a war zone, which makes ditribution difficult. But another problem is that not only Hamas, but civilian gangs, steal the aid to sell on the black market. The press seems to ignore this aspect.
