Food aid entering Gaza after nearly two years of war is failing to reach the most vulnerable, with shipments often seized by desperate civilians, looted by gangs, or resold at exorbitant prices. International organizations and aid workers describe chaotic scenes at distribution points, where hunger has driven people to violence and deadly stampedes. The limited aid allowed in is frequently diverted or blocked by logistical obstacles, dangerous routes, and interference from both criminal groups and authorities. Accusations have emerged that some Palestinian gangs, allegedly armed by Israeli forces, are plundering aid shipments, further complicating efforts to deliver assistance to those in dire need.
