The Palestinian Red Crescent has said that Gazans have yet to receive aid deliveries that have crossed over the border this week and said that sending so few trucks was an “invitation for killing” because of the risk of mobbing, Reuters reports.

“I can prove that nobody has received [aid]. No civilian has received anything yet. In fact, say most of these trucks are still in Karem Shalom at the border, inspected, but not into Gaza,” Younis Al-Khatib, President of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, told reporters.

“It’s very hard to hide the rush or the looting that will happen,” he added.
