More than a quarter of aid sent to Gaza is being looted by mobs or stolen by gangs, with violent attacks on convoys 'out of control', UN officials say

Daily Mail  

More than a quarter of aid sent to Gaza is being looted by mobs or stolen by gangs, UN officials have said. Three UN and US officials said that gang violence has spiralled out of control, crippling supply lines on which most of Gaza's 2.1 million civilians rely for survival. Palestinians including children wait in line to receive food in Khan Yunis in November To gauge the depth of the hunger crisis, US officials said they watch the percentage of Gaza's population to whom UN relief agencies could provide food assistance each month. Palestinians gather to receive food cooked by a charity kitchen amid a hunger crisis as the Israel-Gaza conflict continues in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, on December 1 The UN and the United States have pressed Israel to restore commercial shipments, saying that flooding Gaza with food would drive down prices and discourage looters, but Israeli authorities have not agreed to do so. The three UN and US officials said that Israel failed to crack down on the armed gangs attacking food convoys in Gaza, despite a pledge to do so in mid-October to help ward off famine in the Palestinian enclave.
