Desperate, traumatised people': Gaza faces wave of looting, theft and violence
Briefly

Gaza is experiencing rampant looting amidst a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by a prolonged blockade by Israel. Reported incidents include armed attacks on humanitarian warehouses and community kitchens. Families face dire shortages, subsisting on minimal meals while prices surge exorbitantly for spoiled food. Medical professionals warn of rising malnutrition rates as aid agencies are entirely depleted of food stocks. The chaos arises from the convergence of over two million desperate residents, lacking basic necessities and adequate policing to maintain order.
"Gaza is on the brink of catastrophe after two months of a total blockade by Israel, with many families down to one meal a day."
"The crime wave is because you have 2 million or more desperate, traumatised people packed together with virtually no policing."
