Looting deepens Gaza misery as famine looms, says UNRWA official

A senior official of the main UN aid agency in Gaza warns that the conflict between Israel and Hamas is deepening the humanitarian disaster in the enclave, with a total breakdown in law and order rendering it uninhabitable. The entire population of Gaza is in desperate need of assistance amid a looming famine, says UNRWA official Natalie Boucly. The implementation of a law banning UNRWA from operating in Israel will have catastrophic consequences, warns UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini. The supply of aid entering Gaza has significantly decreased, with only 37 trucks per day compared to the previous 500, and these supplies are now at risk of looting by criminal gangs.
