In a shocking development out of Greenville, South Carolina, FEMA helicopters have reportedly blocked the airport runway, preventing private citizens from delivering much-needed aid to desperate local victims.
According to eyewitness accounts and video footage, private planes carrying supplies for disaster-stricken areas were grounded as FEMA officials took over the airport operations.
One witness on the ground described the scene: “Yesterday, they flew in over 30 planes with supplies for those in need. But today, FEMA flew in 10 helicopters and blocked the runway here at Greenville Downtown. They’ve taken over, and it’s outrageous.”

Video footage from the airport shows several FEMA helicopters parked on the runway, with no sign of movement or efforts to assist in transporting relief. “The helicopters are just sitting there, doing nothing. Meanwhile, thousands of pounds of supplies are sitting untouched,” said another frustrated volunteer who had been working to organize private aid efforts.
FEMA has reportedly taken over one of the hangars as well, further limiting operations and the ability of private pilots to continue their missions. “They’re halting the aid deliveries when every minute counts,” the volunteer continued. “This is about saving lives, not bureaucracy.”
Many are now questioning why FEMA would step in and disrupt private citizens’ efforts, especially when the need for supplies is so urgent. With thousands of pounds of essential goods waiting to be delivered, locals are demanding answers and action.
For now, aid efforts hang in the balance as FEMA blocks the runway, leaving many wondering when relief will finally reach those who need it most.
As of October 2023, the situation in Greenville continues to unfold, with growing public criticism directed at FEMA for their handling of aid logistics. Local community leaders and volunteers are organizing protests to demand transparency and efficiency in disaster response efforts. Reports indicate that discussions are ongoing between FEMA and local authorities to resolve the runway blockage, but frustrations remain high as time is of the essence for those in desperate need of supplies.
