Looting of Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

Gangs in Gaza have formed amidst unrest, leading to the looting of humanitarian aid trucks. This situation has arisen partly due to Israel's targeting of Hamas-affiliated police, who previously protected aid convoys, leaving these missions unguarded. As a result, looters are stealing valuable supplies and selling them at high prices; cigarettes and foodstuffs have emerged as particular targets. The United Nations has expressed concerns, suggesting that these gangs are operating either with Israel's tacit acceptance or even assistance, underscoring the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
