The United Nations chief denounces the “systematic” looting of humanitarian aid in Gaza, a day after Hamas authorities claimed that 20 people were killed in a security operation targeting such groups.
“Armed looting has become systematic and must end immediately. It is hindering life-saving aid operations and further endangering the lives of our staff,” says Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. “However, the use of law enforcement operations must be lawful, necessary and proportionate.”
