The UN has tracked a significant decline in looting of humanitarian aid in Gaza since the ceasefire came into place earlier this month.

Just five percent of collected supplies were reportedly intercepted between October 10 and October 28, compared to 80% that were intercepted between May 19 and October 9, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric says during a briefing.
