Gaza faces deepening chaos as limited food aid deliveries spark violence, looting, and desperation among civilians. A WFP convoy was attacked by gunmen and later struck by Israeli drones, killing six Hamas security escorts. Crowds overwhelmed bakeries, prompting closures, and 15 aid trucks were looted overnight. Residents describe worsening conditions with no food, water, or medicine amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes and mass displacement. Humanitarian agencies warn the aid reaching Gaza is vastly insufficient, with only 130 trucks allowed in over three days—far below the daily 500–600 needed. UN officials call the crisis a looming famine and demand safe aid access. (PC: EPA)
