NGOs say Israel targeting Gaza police helps looters of aid

Looting of aid reaching Gaza has been made easier by Israel's army targeting the local police which would otherwise be able to prevent it, a group of non-governmental organisations said Friday.A report by the 29 NGOs, including Save the Children, Oxfam and Care, said that humanitarian aid entering the Palestinian territory had fallen to an all-time low, averaging 37 humanitarian trucks per day in October, and 69 in the first week of November.This compared with an average of 500 a day before the October 7, 2023, unprecedented attack by Hamas militants on Israel.
