These groups operate in areas that are under Israeli military control. The main entry point for aid, the Kerem Abu Salem or Kerem Shalom crossing, is located in the south, in a part of Gaza that Israeli forces took over in May. It is there where most of the pillaging occurs — sometimes just hundreds of meters away from Israeli forces.

A convoy of 109 aid trucks was looted in Gaza, resulting in the loss of 97 trucks carrying vital supplies. The incident highlights worsening access challenges, with over two million people facing increasing food shortages amid escalating violence and ongoing humanitarian crises.

As many of Gaza's more than 2.3 million people desperately wait for humanitarian assistance and food to reach them, aid trucks are being violently ransacked before getting to their destination, say international organizations.
