Almost 9 in 10 aid trucks looted before reaching Gaza destinations, UN figures show

Majority are overrun by ‘starving, desperate people,’ not Hamas or other armed groups, UN staffer tells ToI, adding problem didn’t exist during January truce, when aid was sufficient

Since the May resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza after a two-month Israeli blockade, a total of 2,604 aid trucks have been collected by the UN. Of those, 2,309 — 88% — did not reach their intended destinations inside the Strip, according to the United Nations Office for Project Services.

According to the organization, this was due to the trucks being “intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza.”

Olga Cherevko from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs clarified to The Times of Israel that the vast majority of looting is being carried out by hungry Gazans, not by armed gangs.

“The long-standing restrictions on the entry of aid have created an unpredictable environment where there is a lack of confidence by the communities that aid will reach them,” she said.

“This has resulted in many of our convoys offloaded directly by starving, desperate people as they continue to face deep levels of hunger and are struggling to feed their families,”

Because as we well know the most effective way to distribute food aide is food riots.

Even if every single truck entering Gaza was looted by hungry people, the people would still be starving.

Yet some random guy on the internet does?


How do you know whether or not those armed individuals in the videos you have seen are Hamas?

Btw, there's no evidence of widespread theft of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza by Hamas.

U.S. government analysis found no evidence of massive Hamas theft of Gaza aid

I've seen a few videos of armed men hijacking aid trucks, but there's no evidence that those taking them are Hamas or that armed gangs stealing aid is a widespread problem. Who's to say those armed men aren't Gaza civilians who acquired weapons and are just trying to ensure that aid is getting into their neighborhoods to feed their families?

There were more than 1,100 trucks that entered Gaza in July alone. How many videos have you seen that provide clear evidence that Hamas is taking any of them?

Yes there is a ton of evidence. Hamas themselves have said as much. There is a viral video of Hamas militants in tunnels eating stolen food.
