Israel ‘outright denied’ 90 percent of aid deliveries to north Gaza in November: UN
Israel “outright denied” 82 out of 91 attempts since 26 October to deliver aid to besieged areas in northern Gaza, said Georgios Petropoulos, head of the UN humanitarian office in Gaza. More attempts were unsuccessful because of “denials of specific locations or specific supplies,” he said in a statement reported by The Washington Post on 26 November.
The aid that has reached Gaza is being looted by criminal gangs, which are able to operate freely after Israel began killing members of the Gaza police attempting to secure aid deliveries earlier this year. “It is tactical, systematic, criminal looting,” Petropoulos told the BBC. […] The BBC was told that “thefts often happen in clear sight of Israeli soldiers or surveillance drones but that the army fails to intervene. […] Stolen goods are apparently being stored outside or in warehouses in areas under Israeli military control”.
