UN: Almost 90% Of Aid Trucks "Intercepted" By Hamas Or Looters

While the world continues to claim that Israel is deliberately starving the civilian population of Gaza or at least not trying hard enough to feed it, the data published by the United Nations, which is responsible for handling much of the aid, shows that almost 90% of aid trucks were looted by Hamas or others.
Daily Wire reporter Kassy Akiva showed how of the over 1,000 trucks taken from Israeli hands at the Gaza Strip border crossing in June, just 47 made it to international aid stations:
Independent journalist Eitan Fischberger similarly showed how according to the United Nations' own published statistics, the number of looted trucks has only increased to almost 90% of trucks allowed into the Gaza Strip:
The IDF said that it repeatedly tried to offer protection for UN trucks so that they do not get looted, only to be told no, as they prefer that their trucks be protected by the Hamas-run police, instead. The IDF refused this condition as it is trying to ensure the aid and food only reaches Gazan civilians rather than helping Hamas stay afloat by feeding its terrorists and financing itself by reselling aid.
Meanwhile, IDF efforts to airdrop aid into the Strip at random intervals, in order to bypass Hamas and looters intercepting slow trucks, has been met with mixed reactions. Multiple countries are now taking part in the airdrop efforts including the UAE, Morocco, and multiple European countries. Videos posted on social media show most Palestinians picking up aid to be happy, though some complain about the inadequate amount of aid or the "humiliating" way in which it is provided.
