U.N. trucks delivering food to Gaza were stopped and looted overnight, Gaza residents and merchants said on Wednesday, hours after desperate Palestinians overran a distribution site run by a U.S.-backed group trying to start delivering aid.
The incidents underscore the problems getting supplies to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians facing worsening hunger and starvation after a weeks-long Israeli blockade.
On Tuesday, Israeli troops fired warning shots as crowds rushed to a distribution point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-backed group that began supplying aid under a new system, which Israel hopes will prevent aid from reaching Hamas.

Israeli military also allowed 95 trucks belonging to the U.N. and other aid groups into the enclave, but three Gaza residents and three merchants said a number of trucks were targeted by looters.
...
One Palestinian transport operator said at least 20 trucks belonging to the U.N. World Food Programme were attacked shortly before midnight.

Footage shared on social media showed fences broken down by crowds trying to reach crates of supplies as private security contractors operating the site fell back.

You can bet your booties, Grandpa, that all those supplies will be on the black market courtesy of Hamas. Or be used as a recruitment to further the cause of Hamas.

“desperate Palestinians”? Some, perhaps, but most were likely “entrepreneurs” looking to grab what they could to sell. Just sayin’.
We should air drop food supplies to the people in Gaza. Perhaps pork bits and grease in glass bottles. No parachutes, but lots of glass bottles. At least until they release all the Israeli hostages.
<< France, Britain, and Germany have said they may take action if the military campaign is not halted. >>
What sort of action? Sending Brigitte Macron to kick Bibi’s tuchus?
Let me show you my shocked face.
I am SO shocked.
No one has oney so food is currency
Gaza is awash with piles of cash, actually.
Does they guy in the street have cash?
Well as usual hamas will shoot any palestinian who is not already starving .....
