There is more than enough capacity to ship aid through ground routes in Israel.

Particularly since they've reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing and are building a new one to central Gaza. The problem seems to be distribution of aid once it crosses. I think only Israel can protect the aid and distribution points, and Hamas can simply take the aid from individuals when they leave and sell it on the black market. Humanitarian groups, no UN as they're combatants, still need protection. The "port" won't be any different, though I understand Israel will be providing the land based security.

Until Hamas is destroyed, there's no way of providing aid to those who need it.

Correct, the post makes no sense in the context of humanitarian aid.

Which tends to support the contention that the pier is actually going to be used to evacuate Hamas in a politically acceptable fashion without a footprint in the Sinai or on Israeli territory so aid can be delivered to Gaza without Hamas stealing it

I thought the air drop delivery was somewhat a success.
