US EditionGaza aid trucks rushed by desperate and hungry crowds, WFP says
- On Saturday, nearly 80 humanitarian trucks carrying flour into southern and central Gaza were intercepted and looted by hungry residents amid worsening famine conditions.
- This looting follows an 80-day Israeli blockade that severely restricted aid deliveries, causing hunger to spread and increasing urgency for food distribution.
- The Palestinian health ministry delivered a record quantity of meals at its Rafah center in southern Gaza, sending in 30 trucks carrying a total of 28,800 food boxes, making it the largest distribution effort so far.
- UNRWA executive director Philippe Lazzarini said current aid flows equal just over 10% of needs and called this quantity a “mockery” compared to 600 to 800 truckloads daily during a previous ceasefire.
- Without significant scaling up of aid and political will, hunger and chaotic aid distribution will persist, putting Gaza at critical risk of famine.
