Hungry Palestinians in Gaza Block and Offload Dozens of UN Food Trucks

In late May 2025, Palestinians in Gaza intercepted and unloaded numerous UN food trucks near the southern border crossing with Israel amid extreme food shortages in the region.
This event followed an Israeli blockade lasting 80 days that allowed only a small number of aid trucks, mostly carrying non-ready-to-eat goods like flour, into Gaza's 2.3 million residents.
The Israel Defense Forces and UN officials reported that around half of the trucks were looted mainly by civilians, worsening food distribution and raising famine risks for the entire population.
UN spokesperson Jens Laerke characterized the flow of humanitarian aid as minimal, reporting that only 238 of the 760 trucks sent have arrived at Gaza’s distribution sites over a 12-day period, hindered by administrative delays and security concerns.
This situation heightened calls for a ceasefire linked to hostage releases, with hopes that humanitarian aid will increase once a 60-day truce is negotiated.
