Over the weekend, nearly a hundred aid trucks were looted in southern Gaza, marking one of the worst incidents of its kind, according to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Out of 109 trucks carrying food supplies for UNRWA and the World Food Programme, 97 trucks were lost in the looting. The drivers were forced to unload trucks at gunpoint, aid workers were injured, and vehicles were extensively damaged.
UNRWA attributed the looting to the collapse of law and order and the approach of Israeli authorities, creating a perilous environment for aid delivery. The challenges in delivering aid to Gaza have become increasingly insurmountable, with trucks facing delays, lootings, and escalating attacks.
