Gaza aid trucks rushed by desperate and hungry crowds, WFP says12 hours ago Share Save Mallory Moench BBC News Share SaveReuters World Food Programme (WFP) trucks waiting at the Kerem Shalom border crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip on 26 MayCrowds of civilians have rushed aid trucks in Gaza, the World Food Programme has said, as hunger and desperation create chaotic scenes.
The humanitarian organisation said it had brought 77 trucks loaded with flour into Gaza overnight and early on Saturday.
"All trucks were stopped along the way, with food taken mainly by hungry people trying to feed their families," WFP said.
WFP had chosen aid delivery routes "that are closer to the populations and safer, and away from the gangs".
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it distributed two million meals this week, which the BBC has not been able to independently verify.
