Aid distribution getting people to rant (8)
I believe the answer is:
diatribe
'to rant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'aid distribution getting people' is the wordplay.
'distribution' indicates anagramming the letters.
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'people' becomes 'tribe' (a tribe is a group of people).
'aid' anagrammed gives 'dia'.
'dia'+'tribe'='DIATRIBE'
(Other definitions for diatribe that I've seen before include "Loud verbal attack" , "A prolonged piece of invective" , "Strong words" , "abusive outburst" , "Bitter words" .)
