Media outlets in Gaza have published footage showing dozens of people attempting to loot a truck carrying humanitarian aid in downtown Gaza City.
The video shows crowds trying to unload aid from the vehicle before gunfire is heard, prompting the crowd to disperse. Whether the truck ultimately reached its intended destination or was looted remains unclear.
A similar incident was reported yesterday in Khan Younis, where, according to reports, dozens of people surrounded another aid truck and took its contents.
Yesterday, a UAE-affiliated aid organization announced that of the 24 trucks it had sent into Gaza in recent days carrying humanitarian supplies — primarily flour and baking materials — 23 were stolen and never reached their intended destinations, such as bakeries or storage warehouses in the Strip.
היום בעיר עזה: עשרות מנסים להגיע למשאיות עם סיוע הומניטרי, נשמעות יריות והם מתפזרים. לא בטוח שהאירוע הסתיים כך והמשאית הגיעה ליעדה בסוף (מחסנים של אירגונים), היו כל מיני דיווחים בנושא pic.twitter.com/rfMp7Ud4lu

سرقة الطحين في قطاع غزة.. عندما يتحوّل الجوع إلى أداة لتفكيك المجتمع
مرة أخرى، تُسرق شاحنات الطحين جنوب قطاع غزة، وتحديدًا في منطقة فش فرش بالمواصي – خانيونس. هذا المشهد لم يعد غريبًا ولا جديدًا، بل يتكرر وسط صمت وعجز، في وقت بات فيه الجوع سلاحًا يُستخدم لتفكيك ما تبقّى من تماسك… pic.twitter.com/4lVo43OSwa
