“Civil order is breaking down in #Gaza – the streets feel wild, particularly after dark – some aid convoys are being looted and UN vehicles stoned. Society is on the brink of full-blown collapse,” UNRWA director Thomas White tweets.

He says that despite the horrible conditions, UNRWA “continues to serve the population with what limited aid we have.”
