The problem is the United Nations being knee deep in the Hamas aid-looting and profit-boosting redistribution cycle.
Sadly for the UN, the world is slowly but surely finding out about it despite all the UN's screeching efforts to paint the Israelis as, at best, obstructive and at worst, the evil villains in the 'But Gazans are starving' Pallywood saga.
Completely oblivious to the furor surrounding aid trucks and food deliveries, Hamas auxiliaries are still proudly producing and uploading their highway robbery videos.
Accompanied by quite a snappy background tune, you see weapon-waving, masked operatives aboard hijacked aid trucks, jauntily mugging for the camera, as their accomplices whiz on by on the side roads alongside the speeding trucks.
The production values that the stolen aid buys are quite high. I'm sure it makes every little boy watching want to be a hijacker.

It seems like everyone has a camera and an angle to play.
Palestinian ‘aid workers’ in Gaza caught staging video with child.

One of the men films a young child carrying water before another comes in to carry the water for the camera.
Once the video is filmed, the man abandons the child and walks off with the water. pic.twitter.com/hHQ6f7DjZZ
In the meantime, there's buttloads of food piling up waiting to be loaded on UN trucks and delivered to those starving Palestinians, regardless of what the UN is claiming.

Food as far as the eye could see. Know what I couldn't see? The UN trying to distribute it. pic.twitter.com/t6QxJhVYkJ
So it's not a question of aid getting in, apparently. Videos of mountains of food already staged inside Gaza are everywhere.
Getting it where it's needed is the UN's part of the bargain and the part they don't want to discuss, because they seem to be absolutely miserable at managing any aspect of it.
Or..and here's where it gets tricksy...are they complicit in it not reaching those who need it?
To my admittedly cynical eye, the numbers tell a story of UN graft, corruption, and continuing cooperation with the butchers in Hamas.
What do you think?
That means the UN only got 4% of aid trucks to their destination...

Let me get those up where you can see them, and they are the UN's official numbers for this past June.
The UN had 1090 trucks loaded and sent into Gaza. 47 deliveries were made where they were meant to go.
Here's UN Aid Chief Tom Fletcher lying to Piers Morgan that the 'vast, VAST majority of the aid that we get in gets to civilians...'

UN's own figures: Out of 2,010 UN food trucks entering Gaza since May 19, 87% were intercepted by armed groups or crowds. (UNOPS)@UNReliefChief, you may lie—but the numbers don't. pic.twitter.com/ps1dzJjKH5
This is a joke and the UN is a fraud.
But the American media is only too willing to lap up the lies and smother the truth.
WOW!

The biggest newspaper in Germany @BILD just exposed what other media outlets are trying to hide: The deliberate staging of Hamas propaganda by photographers in Gaza, that are later sold for tens of thousands of dollars to western media outlets to create a false narrative to… pic.twitter.com/UkQPyPNJMd
Das Bild tracked down and exposed a Turkish photographer providing the fuel for the 'starving children of Gaza' fires being stoked by the NYT and others, and used to villify any alternative relief efforts.
This Gaza photographer stages Hamas propaganda
Emaciated children, desperate mothers, and people begging for food with empty pots: These photos from Gaza are circulating around the world. They move millions – and influence politics worldwide.
But research by the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” is now calling these very images into question: Are some of the pictures from Gaza deliberately staged – and part of a propaganda strategy by Hamas terrorists?
The hunger is (almost always) real – but the images are often not quite so. A recently widely circulated photo showed desperate people on a truck in front of a food distribution point. Opposite them: photographer Anas Zayed Fteiha, a freelance "journalist" commissioned by the Turkish news agency Anadolu.
People wave their pots and shortly thereafter receive food. BUT: Photographer Fteiha apparently isn't sharing the pictures and hasn't responded to BILD's request to reveal what photos he took there.
Potential problem: The scene, captured by other photographers as well, shows mostly adult men waiting for food – and getting it.
Doesn't Fteiha have any use for this?
His photos—published by "Stern" and "New York Magazine," CNN and the BBC, Deutschlandfunk, "Junge Welt," and even BILD—prefer to depict chaos and destruction. And above all, children, mothers, and suffering in close-ups and with perfect lighting.
...Hamas controls all images
The result: In the Gaza Strip, almost exclusively Palestinian photographers are now taking photographs – quite a few with Hamas connections. Historian and photography expert Gerhard Paul told the Süddeutsche Zeitung: "In southern Gaza, Hamas controls 100 percent of image production." The goal: to generate sympathy in the West and stir up anger against Israel.
On average, enough aid has gone into Gaza since the beginning of the war for 3000 calories per day per person.

If you ask a local, they'll tell you if they don't think anyone is listening.

Until they do something about reporting the truth about Hamas...
Incredible story of bravery and betrayal:

A Palestinian woman set up an aid system to feed 100,000 families in Gaza—for free, without Hamas interception.
Then she started getting death threats, and now she’s in a “safe house” in Israel. pic.twitter.com/MlzCmcWmqf
...and those who collaborate with them, like the UNRWA, nudged along with nearly nightly reports from outlets like the CBS Evening News...
...nothing is going to change the narrative. Even with the UN's own figures admitting it.
Those piles of aid will just keep stacking higher in the sun.

Once inside, the Fox team could talk to whomever they wished, or to whomever wished to talk to them.
That's what happens when you send a reporter into Gaza that's not controlled by Hammas.

Well done @BillHemmer
The truth is trickling out of Gaza , surpassing the Qatari Hammas western influence.
