Limited food aid entering Gaza after a partial lifting of Israel's blockade has caused chaos. Crowds overwhelmed bakeries, and an aid convoy was attacked by looters, leading to a firefight and an Israeli drone strike. The incident highlights the deteriorating security situation and widespread hunger. The UN and other aid organizations warn that the amount of aid is insufficient to meet the needs of the 2.1 million residents, with widespread famine a looming threat. Israel maintains the blockade is to pressure Hamas to release hostages, while Hamas denies accusations of stealing supplies.
