US EditionGaza aid trucks rushed by desperate and hungry crowds, WFP says
- Nearly 80 aid trucks loaded with flour were looted by desperate civilians in southern and central Gaza on Saturday amid worsening famine conditions.
- The looting and volatile aid delivery result from an 80-day total blockade combined with widespread hunger and partial easing of border crossings.
- UN agencies warn of impending famine as only about 900 trucks, barely over 10% of daily needs, have entered Gaza recently compared to 600–800 trucks daily during earlier ceasefires.
- Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA's executive director, stated on X that the aid currently arriving is grossly insufficient given the severity of the humanitarian crisis, and emphasized that ending the starvation requires decisive political action.
- The mass starvation and chaotic aid situation suggest urgent need for drastic scaling up of aid across Gaza to calm the humanitarian crisis and prevent famine.
