Gaza aid trucks looted amid 'hunger, desperation and anxiety,' U.N. says
Briefly

The World Food Program reported that fifteen trucks carrying much-needed aid were looted in Gaza, further illustrating the dire humanitarian crisis exacerbated by Israel's blockade. Recently, a small number of aid trucks were permitted into Gaza, but relief organizations state that this does not meet the overwhelming demand, with critical shortages noted. A U.N. assessment indicates one in five people in Gaza faces starvation, as looting and insecurity escalate among desperate residents. The situation underscores an urgent need for increased and consistent food aid deliveries.
