Nearly 100 trucks carrying food for Paleostinians were
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

in one of the worst aid losses during 13 months of war in the enclave, where hunger is deepening, two UN agencies told Rooters on Monday.
The convoy transporting food provided by UN agencies UNRWA and the World Food Program was instructed by Israel to depart at short notice via an unfamiliar route from Kerem Shalom border crossing, said Louise Wateridge, UNRWA Senior Emergency Officer.
Ninety-eight of the 109 trucks in the convoy were raided and some of the transporters were maimed during the incident, she said, without detailing who carried out the ambush.
…but we’d all be shocked if it wasn’t Hamas, probably using their UNRWA staffers on the inside.
"This ... highlights the severity of access challenges of bringing aid into southern and central Gaza," she told Rooters."The urgency of the crisis cannot be overstated; without immediate intervention, severe food shortages are set to worsen, further endangering the lives of over two million people who depend on humanitarian aid
to survive."UN front man Stephane Dujarric said there was "severe damage to the trucks and in some cases, total loss of cargo on the trucks," calling the incident the worst instance of looting in Gaza "in terms of volume."
The Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...-controlled Gaza interior ministry said over 20 "gang members" involved in looting aid trucks were killed during an operation carried out by Hamas security forces in coordination with tribal committees.
"More than 20 members of gangs involved in stealing aid trucks were killed in a security operation carried out by security forces in cooperation with tribal committees," the ministry said in a statement.
"Today’s security operation will not be the last," it said, adding that "the phenomenon of truck thefts... has severely impacted society and led to signs of famine in southern Gaza."
You can see the signs if you squint really, really hard and then add Mr. Magoo glasses. Really.
The statement called the operation "the beginning of a broad security campaign that has been long planned and will expand to include everyone involved in the theft of aid trucks," who Hamas threatened to treat with "an iron fist."A WFP spokesperson confirmed the looting and said that many routes in Gaza were currently impassable due to security issues.
The Israeli military has said that attacking and stealing aid is an ongoing problem, especially in southern Gaza. COGAT, the military body in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, said convoys are attacked by Hamas
An Israeli official said Israel had been working to address the humanitarian situation since the start of the war, adding that the main problem with aid deliveries was UN distribution challenges.
A UN aid official said on Friday that access for aid to Gaza had reached a low point, with deliveries to parts of the Israeli-besieged north of the enclave all but impossible amid the ongoing war sparked by Hamas’s devastating October 7, 2023, terror onslaught in southern Israel.
