Thousands of Gaza residents broke into warehouses and distribution centres of the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) grabbing flour and “basic survival items”, the organisation said on Sunday.

“This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down after three weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a statement.

One of the warehouses, located in Deir al-Balah, is where UNRWA stores supplies from the humanitarian convoys crossing into Gaza from Egypt.

    Nice Spin, I must have missed the news reports of the total water, food, energy, and medical embargo the Palestinians were inflicting on the Israeli people.

      Hamas destroyed their infrastructure to build rockets. Literally tore up pipes that were used to supply water to build rockets. The Palestinians are suffering as a direct result of Hamas.

        Quite right, the citizens of Gaza have two oppressors right now, Hamas and the IDF… saying the children (50% of Gaza <18) deserve to starve because of guilt by association is also evil.

        Collective punishment invites collective reprisals… magnifies violence. If your ever on the side of killing children your on the wrong side. Which means… there are more then two sides here.
