Not only are aid trucks entering in a small number, but a power vacuum has enabled looters and armed gangs to step in, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City.

“They take over many of these trucks coming in and hoard the aid. They then resell it at a very high price — double or triple the standard black-market price,” Mahmoud says. “It’s beyond anyone’s financial capacity.”
