So far, GHF food distribution looks chaotic but Gazans like it better than Hamas, while the UN continues to lie

After the first day where some problems were exaggerated or overemphasized, how has the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation done since then?

On the one hand, Israel Hayom (Hebrew) reports that GHF is successfully ramping up its operations.

The Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) updated today (Thursday) that it continued its aid activities at three secure distribution sites throughout the Gaza Strip – SDS1, SDS3, and SDS4 – which distributed food in large quantities to residents.

According to the report, approximately 997,920 meals were distributed today alone - bringing the total number of meals distributed so far to approximately 1,838,182. The meals were provided through approximately 17,280 boxes delivered to residents.

Meanwhile, the fund's fourth distribution point, SDS4, was also opened today in the central Gaza Strip in the Burij area. Eight aid trucks were distributed at this point, containing 7,680 boxes, providing a total of approximately 443,520 meals.

The foundation noted that the activity will continue and even expand in the coming weeks, with plans to establish additional distribution sites throughout the Strip, including in the northern areas of Gaza.

But on the other hand, it looks like there is no organization. Gazans report that they are not asked to show ID, there are no biometric scans, but they are very happy to get food packages. “Trump feeds us, while Hamas starves us. God bless the Americans, they're giving us flour and food.”

Some are are taking more boxes than they are supposed to. One report says that the people are taking whatever they want, including tables, while the GHF contractors look on.

But at the same time Gazans are breaking into Hamas warehouses, taking large flour sacks that Hamas was selling for $400 each - and that the World Food Program is claiming were being "pre-posittoned" for distribution.

The UN and COGAT are arguing, as usual. The UN says that Israel approved 800 our of 900 trucks of aid, but only 200 of them made it to where they needed to go, and it blames Israel for that. COGAT responded:

Mr. Dujarric , @UN_Spokesperson, you too are lying.
@UNReliefChief was not in Gaza a few weeks ago. He was in Gaza nearly four months ago, at the beginning of February — during the ceasefire period, when 25,200 aid trucks entered Gaza.

Let's stop focusing on aid that might be in the pipeline, and start collecting the content of the 550 trucks already waiting for you inside Gaza.
For a full week now, we’ve been offering you alternative routes to facilitate pickup. These are are areas with active military activities, and coordination is for your own safety.
Enough with the lies and accusations — let’s work together to make sure the aid reaches civilians, not Hamas.

What is clear is that while the UN and agencies continue to say that GHF is not working, their own systems are far worse and they seem more interested in insulting Israel than in cooperating to help feed Gazans.

My biggest concern is that it looks like Hamas can just pick up the GHF food and resell it. Maybe not at the scale of theft it had when it would take entire trucks - their warehouses were not filled up piecemeal - but even the GHD system seems like it can be, and already is starting to be, abused.
