UN says 88% of its aid is being looted before it reaches its destinations
2025-08-06
[IsraelTimes] Israel’s concerns over what happens to UN aid deliveries appeared to be reinforced as the global body admitted that nearly all supplies it took charge of failed to be delivered as planned.

The United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Office for Project Services published data showing that since the resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries to Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
on May 19 and up until August 5, a total of 2,604 aid trucks were collected by the UN. Of those, 2,309 did not reach their intended destinations inside the Gaza Strip. According to the organization, this was due to the trucks being "intercepted either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza."

The numbers account for 88 percent of all trucks. In recent months, the percentages were even higher. According to UNOPS, in June, 1,155 trucks were collected by the UN and its partner organizations after crossing into Gaza, and 1,048 of them — 90.7% — were intercepted before reaching their destinations. In July, the figure rose to 94%, with 1,161 trucks collected and 1,093 intercepted.

Olga Cherevko from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs clarified to The Times of Israel that the vast majority of looting is being carried out by hungry Gazooks, not by armed gangs.

"The long-standing restrictions on the entry of aid have created an unpredictable environment where there is a lack of confidence by the communities that aid will reach them," she said.

"This has resulted in many of our convoys offloaded directly by starving, desperate people as they continue to face deep levels of hunger and are struggling to feed their families," the UN staffer continued.

"As we have said before, the only way to reach a level of confidence is by having a sustained flow of aid over a period of time. This was clearly evident during the weeks of the last ceasefire when such incidents did not occur," she added.
