Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.
Separating the UNRWA from Hamas is pedantic and meaningless at this point. They have been totally co-opted by Hamas.
What is the military utility of cutting food and water
They cut off their own aid. No country provides aid to the state they are actively at war with. Dozens of aid trucks are indeed entering Gaza from other countries.
But sure, lets go with it, Then Hamas has food, water, medicine ready for the civilians in Gaza, waiting in trucks sitting in Egypt waiting to cross. Which is what Israel wants them to do, right? Supply their own citizens…
The person I was responding to said the UNRWA was controlled by Hamas, which would make the UNRWA supply convoys stuck in Egypt part of Hamas as well, meaning that Hamas is trying to supply the civilians…
Its ludicrous, so I was demonstrating to the grandparent poster why their position was incorrect by taking it at face value and going to its logical conclusion
Hamas is not the Arab League. The Arab League does have outsized influence in the UN. The Arab League doesn’t so much care about Hamas (or Palestinians) as they do shitting on Israel.
Then Hamas has food, water, medicine ready for the civilians in Gaza
Israel arranged that. Those countries didn’t want to provide aid because they don’t actually like Hamas, because Hamas-alllied terrorists struck in their countries (and others). This is why they don’t accept Palestinian refugees.
Hamas does appropriate those goods whenever it can, though.

Hamas controls the UN? That is a strong position

The food, water and resources are in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza, not in Egypt.

They can be in both places and still be a true statement…
