Nearly a hundred aid trucks were looted in southern Gaza on Saturday in what UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has described as “one of the worst” incidents of its kind.
Of the 109 trucks carrying food supplies for UNRWA and the World Food Programme from the Kerem Shalom crossing into Gaza, 97 trucks were “lost” in the looting, UNRWA told CNN in a statement Monday.
Drivers were forced to unload trucks at gun point, aid workers were injured, and vehicles were damaged extensively, it said.
UNRWA did not identify the perpetrators of the looting, but blamed the “collapse of law and order” and the “approach of the Israeli authorities” for creating a “perilous environment.”
It said the challenges involved in delivering aid to Gaza had become “increasingly insurmountable,” with “trucks frequently delayed at various holding points, often looted, and subjected to escalating attacks.”
“Well, we have been warning for a long time about the total breakdown of civil order; (until) four or five months ago, we still had local capacity, people who were escorting the convoys. This has completely gone,” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini told a press conference in Geneva on Monday.

Fine, don’t send any more convoys. Problem solved.
Why aren’t all these Arabs in Cairo? They could have walked there by now.
Law and order is “acting white,” isn’t it?
De-fund the police, right?
Oh u.n. warns....🤔😊👍
If the UN is so observant and caring, why doesn’t Tony Guterres put on one of his baby blue helmets, jump in a Jeep and lead his boyz up to Gaza to stop all the looting and bring some “law and order” to that craphole?
In a war zone run by terrorist savages, who would have thought?
“Looted” in Gaza, means the public tried to offload the aide trucks before Hamas could receive and withold all the supplies from the public the aide is supposed to help.
EXACTLY!

With time, the Palestinians will release the Israeli hostages and beg Israel to restore order. And Gaza’s collapse will help dissipate talk of a Palestinian state.

I was in Israel in 2004 when Gaza was handed over to the Palestinians. Overnight, to greet the people of Gaza, the terrorists destroyed job infrastructure providing over 10,000 jobs, e.g., greenhouses and other facilities. The UN became the largest employer overnight. The UN in Gaza is a terrorist organization.
In 2006 while traveling back from the Egyptian Gaza checkpoint, the IDF rolled up between between our embassy vehicles and Gaza. We were taking small arms fire. The IDF company cover us so we could return to Tel Aviv.
I have witnessed the immediate aftermath of explosions by bombers and have watched them from the roof of the embassy fropping backpacks with explosives at the rear entrance.
The UN needs to be downsized and remade from what it has morphed into.
