Aid Chaos in Gaza: Looting, Disputes, and Desperation Undermine Relief Efforts
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Desperation and disorder continue to undermine humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza, where looters seized multiple aid trucks over the weekend, selling food at inflated prices amid growing hunger.
According to Israeli media, five trucks carrying flour, sugar, and sesame seeds were commandeered by looters on Saturday, with flour reportedly sold for NIS 40 per kilo in Deir el-Balah and the Nuseirat refugee camp. The World Food Program confirmed that 15 of its aid trucks were looted earlier in the week.
On Friday, chaos erupted as hundreds of Gazans swarmed a bakery in Nuseirat, scrambling for limited bread supplies. Social media videos showed people catching plastic bags of bread thrown over walls, reflecting the dire shortages on the ground.
Despite Israel easing an 11-week blockade and clearing hundreds of trucks for entry, aid distribution remains fragmented. The IDF claims 388 trucks entered via the Kerem Shalom crossing since Monday, but Palestinian aid groups report only 119 have made it into local hands, citing logistical hurdles and looting.
Further complicating matters, an Israeli drone strike killed six armed men near aid trucks on Friday. Hamas said they were guards protecting the shipments, but the IDF asserted some were Hamas operatives disrupting aid. “Terror groups cynically exploit humanitarian deliveries,” an IDF official said.
As aid struggles to reach the displaced population, calls for increased coordination and security grow louder. But with armed looters, conflicting narratives, and intensifying military operations, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.
