A short video from Rafah in southern Gaza, filmed last Friday, shows a crowd rushing toward a food distribution center operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"A-a-a-and, here they come," someone, either the person filming or someone next to him, says in English in a half-amused tone. The residents swarm the piles of boxes, load up as many provisions as they can and flee the area. The air is filled with a cloud of dust during the rush.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is supposed to supply food directly to families in amounts that meet their precise needs, without any excess that they could sell on the open market – ensuring Hamas will not be able to levy taxes on these goods or to accumulate food.

And yet, videos of the aid centers clearly show there is neither registration nor checking. Residents storm the boxes and carry away as much aid as they can. In such a situation, it's clear the aid will not only reach hungry families, but also the open market.
