Armed looters hijack almost 100 trucks carrying aid supplies into Gaza​

Humanitarian agencies warn food shortages will worsen after convoy was targeted by criminal gangs

Jason Burke in Jerusalem

Armed gunmen attacked and looted about 100 trucks carrying desperately needed supplies for Palestinians in Gaza over the weekend, the biggest such attack during 13 months of war in the territory and new evidence of the growing power of Gaza’s criminal gangs.

The convoy, which was transporting thousands of tonnes of food provided by UN agencies Unrwa and the World Food Programme (WFP), was attacked shortly after entering Gaza on Saturday, UN officials and local community leaders said.

Ninety-eight trucks of the 109-truck convoy were looted and some transporters were injured during the incident, said Louise Wateridge, Unrwa’s senior emergency officer.

The incident “highlights the severity of access challenges of bringing aid into southern and central Gaza”, she told Reuters.

“The urgency of the crisis cannot be overstated; without immediate intervention, severe food shortages are set to worsen, further endangering the lives of over 2 million people who depend on humanitarian aid to survive.”

Community leaders in central Gaza said local people had fought back against the looters of the convoy, who were armed with automatic rifles, and managed to retrieve some of the stolen trucks which were then returned to the WFP.


A spokesperson for the Internally Displaced Civilians Association (IDCA) in Deir al-Balah said the attack meant that two bakeries serving roughly 1 million people in central Gaza had announced they would not be able to provide any bread until they receive new supplies.

The IDCA, one of a number of informal groups that have sprung up to represent the interests of Gaza’s 1.8 million displaced people, said Israeli authorities had been repeatedly warned that armed gangs were operating along roads leading into Gaza from specific entry points.

“A better route for aid was repeatedly proposed, but [the Israelis] have refused all these requests,” the spokesperson said.

UN officials said the convoy had been instructed by Israel to depart at short notice through an unfamiliar route from the Kerem Shalom border crossing.

Gaza is facing deepening anarchy as the last remnants of civil order break down, leaving a vacuum increasingly filled by armed gangs, clans, powerful families and criminals.

In April, aid officials said they feared Gaza would become “Mogadishu on the Mediterranean”.

The 13-month Israeli military offensive has removed Hamas from power in most of Gaza but the Islamist militant group has not been replaced by any other form of governance.


Systematic targeting of Gaza’s police force, which Israel considers part of Hamas, and the release of hundreds of prisoners from jails by the group early in the conflict have exacerbated the chaos.

Waterbridge did not identify the attackers but UN officials have said that powerful families in the south of Gaza long known for their involvement in looting had been behind a series of attacks on convoys in recent weeks.

“This isn’t desperate people looking to feed themselves or their families. It is pure organised crime, by people who are heavily armed and making a lot of money. They are taking supplies paid for by member states. It’s a disgrace,” one senior aid official said earlier this month.

Aid officials in Gaza describe the situation in much of the territory, where more than 80% of the population of 2.3 million have been displaced and more than two-thirds of buildings have been destroyed or damaged in 13 months of war, as “apocalyptic”.

An Israeli official said Israel had been working to address the humanitarian situation since the start of the war, but blame aid organisations and the UN for failing to distribute aid that is cleared for entry to Gaza.

A WFP spokesperson confirmed the looting and said that many routes in Gaza were currently unpassable because of security issues.

A UN aid official said on Friday that delivering aid across Gaza was now more difficult than ever before, with parts of the besieged north of the territory almost impossible to reach. Israel’s devastating military campaign in Gaza was triggered by the Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel last year.

Documents found in Gaza detail Iranian sponsorship ahead of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack​

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, and John Bolton were right. 100% right. The "axis of evil" was entirely appropriate.

They are favored punching bags on this forum for every misfortune that befalls seemingly anyone, anywhere in the Middle East. So we ought to at least acknowledge when it turns out, about certain nation-state actors, they were right all along.

 

[kflo]

no, it's estimated that 25% of current israelis came straight from europe. 75% of israelis are israeli-born, and they magically stop being considered european when they're born in israel.

Stop fucking lying. It’s sad.

 

[iwannabeadored]

The doomer tankies think both parties are the same in this conflict while simulatenously choking on Trump+Putin's balls. And the muslims that couldn't fathom voting for a woman so they voted for a guy that made a name for himself off banning them.

It’s sad. When people don’t educate themselves this is what happens. Thinking Trump will save them

You know who also helped sponsor the attack by funneling suitcases of money to Hamas and did nothing with the intel about the attack? Benjamin Miliekowsky.

Those names you just listed are the axis of evil.

Not that you give a shit. You’d blame Israel no matter what they do. 100% of the time. Without fail.

everything in gaza goes through hamas.

Netanyahu defends second Qatari transfer of $15 million to Gaza via Israel

The prime minister justified allowing the transfer of the money, by saying that there is a humanitarian problem in Gaza that also impacts Israel

www.jpost.com

• According to sources, the second installment of the Qatari aid will be distributed as follows: $5 million dollars for salaries, $5 million dollars for unemployed Palestinians, and $5 million dollars for relief and humanitarian aid.

again, i'm curious how the money from qatar into gaza allowed them to "arm themselves", as you stated?

No matter what they do, you can always say it was wrong. Israel bad. And you do.

Really can't believe you phrased it like that given the bitch fit you had about how someone else used words in the past couple of days

It's kind of disgusting to be honest to say it was "impressive" if you are going to be pedantic and absolutely literally about how other people use words

Could Muslims really not fathom voting for a woman or is this just more casual racism from liberals like I've seen toward black and latino men?

Are we going to pretend that Islam doesn't have sexist predispositions? Islam ain't even a race too.

Some of them literally voted Trump that won a campaign off banning them in 2016. It is either retarded virtue signaling or sexism.

I didn't say it doesn't, I asked if there was any proof. I've said racism and sexism played a role just that I didn't think it was the primary reason she lost, same as Hillary in 2016. I've seen liberals in the media turn on trans people and black and latino men lately so arab voter would be par for the course. I seen a lot of overlap with conservative and liberal takes post election too.

 

[deviake]

The outreach of the Kamala campaign including Bill Clinton's role to that demographic was very poor from my understanding. Campaigning with a Cheney especially doesn't send a good message no matter how full of shit Trump is, which his voters are about to find out about. The snub of that community by the Harris campaign is well documented.

I didn't turn on anyone. I have always called religious headcases out. I've criticized Catholicism, Judaism and all their followers plenty. I didn't even mention Arabs too....

I'll even admit that probably a lot of Hindus voted Trump outta spite towards Muslims.

That's fair, and while there's irritation in my post it was also a sincere question, my bias leading me toward "no" but if I'm wrong I'm wrong. This is what I've glanced over so far:

Muslim voters once abandoned the GOP. Now they may leave the Democrats.

Anger about Gaza helped Donald Trump win the most Arab American city in the country, while support for Kamala Harris was cut in half.

I shot through a couple others from my brief search but they referenced the Cair exit poll so they'd be redundant.
