The Israeli army is accused of allowing criminal gangs in Gaza to steal aid as Palestinians continue to starve.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

27 Nov 2024 <\/em>– Israel \u201coutright denied\u201d 82 out of 91 attempts since 26 October to deliver aid to besieged areas in northern Gaza, said Georgios Petropoulos, head of the UN humanitarian office in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\n

More attempts were unsuccessful because of \u201cdenials of specific locations or specific supplies,\u201d he said in a statement reported<\/a> by The Washington Post<\/i> on 26 November.<\/p>\n

The aid that has reached Gaza is being looted by criminal gangs, which are able to operate freely after Israel began killing members of the Gaza police attempting to secure aid deliveries earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is tactical, systematic, criminal looting,\u201d Petropoulos told<\/a> the BBC.<\/p>\n

He says this is leading to \u201cultra-violence\u201d from \u201cthe looters towards the truckers, from the IDF towards the police, and from the police towards the looters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHamas\u2019 security control dropped to under 20 percent,\u201d the former head of Hamas police investigations told the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working on a plan to restore control to 60 percent within a month.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BBC was told that \u201cthefts often happen in clear sight of Israeli soldiers or surveillance drones but that the army fails to intervene.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStolen goods are apparently being stored outside or in warehouses in areas under Israeli military control,\u201d the BBC wrote.<\/p>\n

As a result, hunger and malnutrition among Palestinians are increasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy children are very hungry every day. We can\u2019t afford the basics. It\u2019s constant suffering. No food, no water, no cleaning products, nothing,\u201d Gaza resident Umm Ahmed told the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want much, just to live a decent life. We need food. We need goods to come in and be distributed fairly. That\u2019s all we\u2019re asking for.\u201d<\/p>\n
