UN Data Finds Most Aid to Gaza Was Looted in Transit

August 5, 2025

Over 85 percent of the humanitarian aid sent into Gaza from May 19 to August 4 this year was looted in transit, according to tracking data published by the United Nations Office for Project Services.

Of the 2,604 trucks of aid collected from the crossings along Gaza’s perimeter during the nearly three-month period, only 300 arrived at their intended destination.
2,310 trucks’ worth of humanitarian assistance were intercepted “[e]ither peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza.”

False accusations: Israel has come under heavy fire internationally since the early months of the war in Gaza, being accused of causing a famine in Gaza and intentionally starving Palestinians.

However, a review conducted by United Kingdom Lawyers for Israel publicized in February made clear that this is a false claim, reliant on lies and miscalculations.

In reality, Israel has safely provided Gazan civilians with significant amounts of humanitarian aid, even while fighting Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
