How does that work, shawn? Hamas took over in 2007 after defeating
Fatah. Hamas then proceeded to assasinate all the remaining Fatah
politicians. How could Israel "get" food/water/medical supplies to
residents in a way that they wouldn't be diverted to Hamas? Or ensure
that all foreign aid wasn't taken by Hamas to build weapons?

 

What is it about Hamas being in total control of the Gaza Strip for
nearly two decades don't you understand?

 

Realistically once the delivery truck crosses the border how could
they prevent such diversion?

 The UN aid convoys require armed peacekeeper protection. Without
armed peacekeepers allowed to defend against attacks, the aid cannot be
distributed to civilians. Either desperate people or Hamas units are the
ones attacking the convoys.

UN Peacekeepers are usually under rules of engagement that effectively deny them the ability to USE any weapons they have.
