The Gaza media office has reported that 104 aid trucks entered Gaza, saying the “majority” were subjected to looting, according to Al Jazeera.

It further accused Israel of “deliberately perpetuating” security chaos, adding it affirmed the UN’s position that 600 trucks are needed a day to adequately provide for the population.

Earlier today, we reported that a UN spokesperson said that aid trucks had been restricted to only one crossing into Gaza and were subject to “ad hoc” security checks by the Israeli military.

He said this has led to delays and increased dangers for both those making the deliveries and those seeking aid.
