Israel is currently establishing a new mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip, with the aim of preventing supplies from reaching Hamas members as much as possible.

Doron Kadosh, Army Radio's military correspondent, reported this morning (Tuesday) that the new apparatus will distribute aid in Rafah, in a sterile area between the Morag Corridor and the IDF-controlled Philadelphi Corridor, where Gazans will be allowed only under inspection to ensure that Hamas members do not enter.

Three different distribution centers will be established in Rafah, and it will be the center of aid for the entire Gaza Strip, since no aid will be distributed anywhere else, and Israel hopes that this will speed up the evacuation of the Gaza population, from the north to the south.

Kadosh also reports that Israel is considering establishing one temporary distribution center in the northern Gaza Strip, at the beginning of the process, and closing it later as the population evacuates to the south.

The distribution will be per family, so that from each Gaza family, only one representative will be allowed to enter the distribution centers and take the appropriate amount of aid for his family.

The calculations made by the defense establishment show that the average Gazan family needs 70 kilograms of food per week, which is the amount that each representative of a Gaza family will receive in order to prevent a situation of starvation.

The distribution will take place according to an orderly registration that will be managed by the American nonprofits and private companies, and thus the aid will reach the families and citizens directly.

Israel believes that the mechanism in question will make it very difficult for Hamas to rob and get its hands on large quantities of humanitarian aid, as it has done to date.

Security sources told Army Radio: "Hamas will find it much more difficult to rob Gaza families of aid. There is a difference between robbing a truck, as he has done to this day, and taking food from people's hands and leaving them hungry. We believe that this is the best mechanism to make sure that the aid does not reach Hamas."
