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.

    Who the fuck said anyone deserves to starve‽ Hamas is a cancer and must be ripped from the face of the earth. They hold the entirety of the blame when they kill Westerners indiscriminately and use their own citizens as shields.

      I must have misunderstood your comments… there was a very heavy implication the Gazan people deserved it. Do you support allowing humanitarian aid to be delivered to the gazan people?

      Hamas is evil, to be sure, but they are a symptom not a cause. Apartheid and oppression are the root cause.

      Also - Holding “Western” lives higher then Arab lives is a tiny bit racist…
