It gives a realistic view of the situation surrounding food distribution in Gaza.
Four distribution stations for a million people. Armed soldiers shoot at citizens as soon as they deviate from mandatory routes or try to rush to the food.

The four distribution sites are deep inside Israeli-occupied territory. This puts Palestinian aid seekers in direct contact with Israeli soldiers. This was not the case at the more than 400 locations where the UN distributed food.
Many aid organizations argue that the problems were deliberately created. By placing the aid stations only in the south, Gazans are forced to leave the north. According to the aid organizations, this is the goal: to drive out the Palestinians.
