"Escalating Chaos: Gazans Overrun Aid Centres in Israel-Hamas War"

Thousands of Gaza residents broke into UNRWA warehouses and distribution centers, seizing flour and essential supplies, signaling a breakdown in civil order after weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza. Aid supplies have been limited since Israel's bombardment began in response to a deadly attack by Hamas. UNRWA stated that the current system for humanitarian convoys into Gaza is inadequate, leaving communities in dire need while aid remains insufficient and inconsistent. The organization's ability to assist people in Gaza has been strained by airstrikes that have killed over 50 of its staff and restricted supply movement. Even before the conflict, UNRWA's mandate was jeopardized due to a lack of funding.
