UAE aid trucks to Gaza 'looted' in area under Israeli control, says mission

Trucks carrying UAE aid to Gaza were "looted" and subjected to theft inside an area under Israeli control, according to a statement by Operation Gallant Knight 3. 

Out of the 24 trucks allowed to enter, only one truckload actually reached the warehouses. "This was due to the Israeli army's insistence on imposing unsafe crossing routes", the statement added.

Subsequently, plans were made for the entry of 103 additional trucks carrying flour, cooking gas, oil, salt, sugar, and other supplies necessary for the operation of bakeries. However, out of these, only 24 trucks were allowed to enter, and they were then subject to looting, according to the statement.

Operation Gallant Knight 3 expressed its deep regret and strong condemnation of these attacks, which deprive the residents of the Gaza Strip of their legitimate right to food and basic humanitarian aid.

The mission also called on the international community and all concerned parties to urgently intervene and ensure safe, rapid delivery of aid.
