The assessment of looting last month is still underway, but preliminary data shows it was far worse
– Israel has failed to crack down on armed gangs attacking food convoys in Gaza , despite a pledge to do so in mid-October to help ward off famine in the Palestinian enclave, according to three UN and US officials familiar with the matter.
"Israel has taken significant steps to allow the maximum possible scope of aid to Gaza," the spokesperson said. In mid-November, a 109-truck convoy chartered by UN agencies came under attack minutes after it was ordered by the IDF to leave a border crossing in southern Gaza during the night, several hours ahead of the agreed schedule, according to five people familiar with the incident, including two who were present.
The US Department of State declined to comment on Israel's October commitment, but said that looting remained the primary obstacle to aid delivery. For now, however, relief operations are hobbled by a disagreement between Israel and much of the international community over who is responsible for feeding civilians in Gaza and maintaining order in the tiny territory.
In November, it was 29%, up from 24% in October, but a sharp fall from a wartime peak of more than 70% in April, according to UN data. Relief workers said they also face difficulties in accessing northern Gaza, where the IDF resumed combat against Hamas in October. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 civilians remain stranded there, with little food and medical assistance.Aside from fighting in the north, more than a dozen UN and US officials traced the deterioration of humanitarian conditions inside Gaza in the past three months to a decision by Israeli authorities in early October to ban commercial food shipments by businesses.
