The United Nations’ World Food Program (WFP) says that “hordes of hungry people” broke into a warehouse in the Central Gaza.
Two people are supposed to die and injured in the incident, said the program and added that it was still confirmed.
Video material from the AFP news agency showed that crowds collapsed into the al-Ghaafari warehouse in Deir al-Balah and took the flour and boxes with food while shots came out. It was not immediately clear where the shots came from.
In a statement, the WFP said that humanitarian needs in Gaza “got out of control” after an almost three -month Israeli blockade that was relaxed last week.
The WFP said that food supply for distribution in the warehouse had been presented.
The program added: “Gaza needs an immediate benchmark for food aid. This is the only way to assure people that they will not starve.”
The WFP said that it had “consistently warned of alarming and deteriorating conditions on site, and the risks that were accepted to hungry people by limiting humanitarian aid to desperate”.
The Israeli authorities said on Wednesday that 121 trucks of the UN and the international community, which carry humanitarian aid, including flour and food, were transferred to Gaza Strip.
Israel started a limited amount of help in Gaza last week. Sigrid Kaag, the UN -EHOST -MAST -envoy, told the UN Security Council “comparable to a lifeboat after the ship has dropped” when everyone in Gaza was confronted with a famine.
A controversial US and Israeli group – the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) – was also established as a private aid distribution system. It uses US security entrepreneurs and bypasses the UN, which indicates that it is not processed and unethical.
The US and Israeli governments say that the GHF, the four sales centers has set up in southern and central Gaza, prevents help from being stolen by Hamas that denies the armed group.
The UN -Humans Right Office said that 47 people were injured on Tuesday In the southern city of Rafah, one day after work there.
Another high -ranking UN announced journalists on Wednesday that desperate crowds of freight from UN AID Trucks are looting.
Jonathan Whittall, the head of the United Nations’ Humanitarian Office for the occupied Palestinian areas, also said that there was no evidence that Hamas helped to distract help through credible humanitarian channels.
He said that the true theft of relief goods had been carried out by criminal gangs since the beginning of the war that the Israeli army “was allowed to operate in Gaza near Kerem Shalom Crossing Point”.
The United Nations has argued that an auxiliary effect such as the recent ceasefire between Israeli and Hamas would reduce the risk of looting from hungry people and enable them to completely use their established distribution network via the Gaza Strip.
