United Nations, May 24 -- A lot of trucks cleared into Gaza lately were looted by desperate Gazans, a UN spokesman said Friday.
"We moved another batch of around 100 full truckloads to Kerem Shalom (Karem Abu Salem) and picked up about 35 from the Palestinian side of the crossing to bring them closer to where people need them in Gaza," said Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Six trucks containing flour were intercepted by residents and had their contents removed on Wednesday. The same thing happened to 15 trucks on Thursday night, Haq said. "And our understanding is that these are not instances of organised criminal looting. This is looting driven by people who are facing desperation and hunger."...
