Groups of armed Palestinians supported and protected by the Israeli military have been attacking aid convoys, Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera reports.

This has been verified by many people very close to the areas these armed groups happened to be looting these trucks from and preventing them from reaching their designated points, the report adds.

“When we think about the impacts of these attacks, they exacerbate the dire humanitarian crisis in the enclave,” Mahmoud said.

These are vital routes to bring in essential food, medicine, water and other vital supplies.
