The looting of 97 trucks of a UN aid convoy in sight of Israeli military installations at the Karem Abu Salem crossing (Kerem Shalom for Israelis) has exacerbated the suffering of the blockaded Gaza Strip, already in an acute humanitarian crisis.
The 109-truck convoy of aid shipments from several UN agencies was intercepted by armed men on Saturday night who forced the drivers to unload cargo at gunpoint, injured aid workers and damaged the vehicles, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said.
