    What is the population of Gaza? Maybe 2.1 million in the Gaza strip? Various search engines give results between 1/2 million and 5 million, a rather wide variance. This article says the U.S. hopes to deliver 1 million pounds of food every 2 days. The average person eats between 3 and 5 pounds of food per day. It’s not enough food even for the lowest population estimate. OTOH, every bit of additional food helps and is good news.

      If im not mistaken, when the pontón was originally planned, israel wasnt suppose to enter Rafah… maybe thats the origin of the problem?
