DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel announced Sunday it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade, days after global experts on food security warned of famine. ... It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment. Israel has been trying to impose a new aid system, despite objections by aid workers. Netanyahu said Israel would work to ensure that aid does not reach militants.

Ah you can only read 1 line at a time, let me help you out:

When asked about Hamas’s responsibility for the safety of civilians, Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook allegedly replied that “it is the responsibility of the United Nations to protect them… [and] it is the responsibility of the occupation to provide them with… services”.[290][291]

On 28 October, The New York Times reported that Hamas had stockpiled food, water, medicine and sanitary products in underground caches, in amounts that would allow it to continue fighting for several months without resupply.[292]

On 12 November, Kan 11 aired a video taken by a Gazan civilian, that appeared to show Hamas policemen beating civilians approaching a truck carrying humanitarian aid for food, before allegedly taking the supplies for themselves.[293]

According to The Algemeiner, an unnamed “Fatah TV anchor” claimed that Hamas killed humanitarian aid workers to “prevent any activity by any [other] party” and “ensure Hamas control over the aid”.[294][295]

On September 13 Israeli Channel 12 news played alleged intercepted recordings purporting to show Hamas operatives discussing how to disperse overflowing Gaza aid that they had seized. In the recordings of radio conversations, an operative says “We have trucks overflowing with goods.” The second operative declines the offer, saying “we have everything. In the meantime, we have no room in the stores.” He then suggests they send the goods to Khan Younis.[302]

The PLO is funded by Israel. Any sources besides Israel?
