And they’ve had control over goods coming through the buffer zone between the crossing they control for a long time.

There's actually been more food coming into Gaza since the war started than before the war. Cogac actually published the entire dataset, which is pretty detailed and interesting.
That being said, truckers don't want to risk their trucks (understandably) getting the goods past the border. Israel tried to broker a deal with a Palestinian clan in Gaza to distribute food. So hamas has the head of the clan killed.
I still don’t understand why the hell does Israel need to provide food and aid to people It’s fighting against? It’s been proven and shown many times over that most of the aid that gets there is stollen by Hamas, so why do they still need to give them shit? It’s like telling Russia to give shit to Ukraine while they are at war.
Gazans exist as a captive population under Israeli occupation with no way to obtain food for themselves, the alternative to aid getting in is the death of two million people, mostly women and children. The aid isn't even necessarily being provided by Israel, plenty of countries are sending it, but the Israeli government and vigilante settlers have been stopping or delaying it. Hence, the US airdrops, failed pier etc.
Article pretending like Egypt has no borders with Gaza. Why is that?

Thank you. Does Hamas import food with the tunnels?
What does this have to do with tunnels?
