Sorry 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.
