The World Food Program (PAM) said Friday that fifteen of its trucks had been looted in the south of the Gaza Strip, where humanitarian aid begins to enter the excrement, after more than two months of Israeli block.
At the same time, Gaza’s civil defense reported at least 16 dead on Friday in “Israeli strikes in several areas of the Gaza Strip.”
The army intensified in mid -May its bombings and land operations, to destroy Hamas and free the hostages eliminated during the unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement in Israel on October 7, 2023, which caused the war.
The help deliveries of Strip Gaza resumed on Monday for the first time since March 2, faced with a growing outrage against Israeli blockade, which caused a serious shortage of food and drugs.
Less truck tickets than during humanitarian rest
In a statement, the PMA said Friday that 15 of their trucks “were looted at night from Thursday to Friday in southern Gaza, while they were heading to the bakeries supported by PAM.”
“Hunger, despair and anxiety not to know if more food help will reach the fuel that increases insecurity,” said the UN agency, asking the Israeli authorities to “allow the entry of much greater volumes of food aid and faster.”
The COGAT, the organization of the Israeli Ministry of Defense responsible for civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, announced that 107 humanitarian aid trucks had entered Gaza on Thursday. But Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), recalled Friday that during the six -week truce broken in March, between 500 and 600 trucks admitted daily.
“No one should be surprised or shocked to see scenes where the beautiful help is looted, stolen or lost +,” he wrote in X, adding that “Gaza people have been hungry for more than eleven weeks.”
