The aid is in Egypt, subject to Israeli law. The genocide continues.

Much of what is being stored in North Sinai - including food items like lentils, pasta, chickpeas, and juice - has been deemed by Israel to be "non- essential" to life in the Gaza Strip.

It's an unholy pact between the goodies against the baddies.
Work it out!

million people, coming from governments and non-governmental agencies 
around the world, are being stored in warehouses, parking lots, stadiums 
and on airport runways across Egypt's North Sinai governorate.

Flour, pasta, sugar, coffee, chocolate, tomato sauce, lentils, date bars, juice,

based items are all sitting in at least eight storage points in and around Al-
Arish, a city in North Sinai approximately 50 kilometres from Gaza's border.

Three months after the end of the war, much of the aid has either rotted or 
been irreparably damaged as a result of both rain and sunshine, and Egypt's 
refusal to open the Rafah crossing.

All aid meant for Gaza via Egypt must currently pass through either Al-Auja 
or Kerem Abu Sellem, Egypt's commercial crossings with Israel, and is 
subject to both Israeli-Egyptian trade specifications and Israeli import law.
