Israel has allowed only 109 aid trucks into the Gaza Strip, but most of them were looted amid escalating security chaos, according to the Gaza media office, Anadolu Agency reports.

Four of six airdrops also fell into hazardous zones, it said.

“Today, 109 aid trucks entered Gaza, with the majority looted and robbed due to the security chaos systematically and deliberately imposed by the Israeli occupation,” the office said in a statement.

The office pointed out that the airdrop operations failed to reach those in need, noting that “four of six airdrops landed in areas under Israeli military control or neighbourhoods where civilians had been ordered to evacuate.”

It added that anyone in these areas “faces direct targeting and killing,” making the airdrops “not only futile but also dangerous to the starving population.”

The media office emphasised that Gaza requires at least 600 aid trucks and fuel daily to meet civilians’ basic needs.
