While virtually all of the World Food Programme food aid has been stolen since July 1, UNICEF aid has been far more successful at reaching its destinations safely.
The apparent reason is that UNICEF hires private security to transport and guard its shipments.
The Al-Aqsa Transport, Security and Guarding Company announced on August 4 that it was securing UNICEF convoys in Gaza, and even posted a promotional video (you can see the UNICEF logo at 0:54):
This chart Epstein created shows the percentage of aid that made it through by NGO in August.
UNICEF collected only 6% of the aid collected at Gaza borders - yet it successfully delivered 61% of the aid that arrived to the intended destinations.
There are other private security organizations in Gaza as well as clans willing to secure aid shipments as well as commercial vehicles. Capitalism is the most efficient way to get things to work, but apparently that goes against WFP principles, so they let Hamas grab the food instead - to resell.
Think about it: if WFP would spend 20% of the money they get on security, they would deliver maybe 90% of the food instead of zero. Hundreds of thousands of people fed. No possible famine. Seems like a pretty easy calculation, doesn't it?
The UNICEF experience also shows the lie of the Gaza NGOs that claim that the Gazza Humanitarian Foundation is illegitimate and immoral because it "militarizes" aid. Look at the video again, or the video from the Al Mughasib clan securing UNICEF and other aid. Looks militarized to me!
A cynic would say that WFP has more of an interest in painting Israel as intentionally starving Gazans and in projecting famine-like conditions in Gaza than in feeding Gazans.
It gets harder every day not to be cynical.
