Gaza Aid Convoy Robbed Near Israeli Military Positions

The looting of a UN aid convoy underscores the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza and raises questions about Israeli military oversight.

A UN aid convoy of 109 trucks was intercepted by armed men near the Karem Abu Salem crossing, with 97 trucks looted.
The looting highlights a breakdown of civil order in Gaza, exacerbated by the ongoing Israeli military offensive.
The Gazan Interior Ministry claims to have killed over 20 gang members involved in the looting, as part of a broader crackdown.
Humanitarian agencies warn of worsening food shortages in Gaza, with aid flows severely restricted by Israeli blockades.
Concerns are mounting over the Israeli army's role, as the convoy was attacked near heavily surveilled military positions.
