A convoy of 109 trucks was violently looted on November 16 after crossing into Gaza, resulting in the loss of 98 trucks, a UNRWA aid official told Reuters.
The convoy, carrying food provided by UN agencies UNRWA and the World Food Programme, was instructed by Israel to depart at short notice via an unfamiliar route from Kerem Shalom crossing, Louise Wateridge, UNRWA Senior Emergency Officer told Reuters.
“This incident highlights the severity of access challenges of bringing aid into southern and central Gaza,” she said.
