Looting Gaza

Late Sunday, an Israeli airstike targeted a group of personnel, who were securing aid trucks entering Gaza. The International Medical Corps says medical supplies that were meant for field hospitals in Gaza were among the aid that was taken.

“Of the 150 pallets that International Medical Corps was transporting in the convoy, 111 were looted, while 39 made it to the destination undisturbed,” it said in a statement. A spokeswoman for the UN earlier said that 23 trucks in the 66-truck convoy were lost to looting.

She said the looting occurred after the Israeli military delayed some of the trucks and news of the convoy’s movement spread.
