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.
