In a tragic incident in the Gaza strip, as many as 20 people were killed and dozens others got injured after an aid truck overturned. The incident took place in Deir al-Balah, in the central part of the Gaza strip. It remains unclear whether the incident was an accident or whether people seeking aid caused the truck to overturn.
As per reports, a crowd had surrounded the truck when it entered the area, forcing it to divert to an unsafe route where it overturned.
Notably, crowds looting aid trucks is a common occurrence in Gaza. United Nations’ figures show 9 in 10 aid trucks looted are before reaching their intended Gaza destinations.
