The convoy, which was delivering provisions provided by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency and the World Food Programme, was attacked shortly after entering the enclave, resulting in injuries to some of the drivers.

The looting, which occurred on Saturday, affected 98 out of 109 trucks in the convoy, marking one of the most severe losses of food aid during the 13-month war. “This ... highlights the severity of access challenges of bringing aid into southern and central Gaza,” Wateridge said amid ongoing military escalations that have continued since the Hamas attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
