Following a ceasefire in Gaza, over 3,800 trucks of humanitarian aid entered the region, marking a significant improvement in relief efforts. However, clashes between Hamas forces and organized looters threaten the distribution of this aid, as violence resurged near the key Kerem Shalom crossing. Before the ceasefire, rampant looting had occurred due to the absence of police escorts for aid convoys. Although police protection has resumed, recent attacks on officers indicate ongoing instability, complicating efforts to provide essential assistance to the population, which has faced severe casualties in the conflict.
The violence in Gaza, marked by clashes between Hamas and organized looters, jeopardizes the flow of humanitarian aid despite initial increased access following the ceasefire.
While over 3,800 trucks have delivered aid since the ceasefire, ongoing violence, including attacks on police protecting convoys, threatens aid distribution.
Aid organizations face immense challenges as looting and armed clashes continue to disrupt the distribution of essential supplies to Gaza's population.
The ceasefire has improved humanitarian access, but security concerns remain as gangs previously exploited the void left by absent police forces.
