This article doesn't say "but distribution blocked" anywhere, that is OP's invention. They only started receiving shipments today. The article quotes a "US aid chief" as saying other land crossings and humanitarian corridors are still needed in addition to this pier.

It isn't "OP's invention" at all, it's the article's title at the time of first publication. Here is the Guardian announcing the article under its original title.

Maybe spend 5 seconds on a basic search before you accuse people of stuff.

Given that the article says the aid will still have to go through an Israeli checkpoint in order to be sent north (where the worst famine is) I will be amazed if the small amount of aid scheduled to come through this pier doesn't suffer the same distribution blockages as other aid.
