A Gaza warehouse containing World Food Programme (WFP) supplies was broken into by desperate crowds amidst a severe food shortage. Two deaths and several injuries were reported during the incident. The WFP states that humanitarian needs have spiraled due to a recent Israeli blockade, now partially eased. The UN highlights the urgent need for increased food aid, contradicting claims by US and Israeli-backed groups that aid theft is orchestrated by Hamas. The UN insists that criminal gangs, not Hamas, are responsible for aid theft, and increased aid flow through established channels is crucial to prevent further incidents.
