15 aid trucks looted in Gaza, says UN, amid dozens more deaths in strikes
- The UN World Food Programme reported that 15 aid trucks carrying flour to bakeries were looted on the night of May 22 near Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
- This looting followed the partial easing of an 11-week Israeli blockade that had stopped aid deliveries since March 2 amid escalating conflict after Hamas's October 7 attack.
- The looting reflected desperate conditions in Gaza, where hunger, insecurity, and anxiety increased as only about a third of approved aid shipments reached warehouses despite 107 trucks entering Gaza on May 22.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned only 'a teaspoon of aid' had been authorized, stressing that without rapid and sustained assistance, more people in Gaza will die and the consequences will be profound.
- The looting and aid delivery difficulties highlight the urgent need for increased, secure humanitarian access amid ongoing Israeli military operations and population displacement in Gaza.
