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.

    The article says that people in Gaza broke into UN warehouses and took the supplies. So the supplies must have been already inside Gaza.

      I did say a lot of, they’ve still managed to receive some. But what I mean is, it’s really hard to have personnel there to distribute it. Especially right now when not even Gazan Palestinians are allowed to be in parts of Gaza

        Yeah, that makes sense, especially after they started refusing UN staff visas, for talking about their war crimes.
