Some Palestinians in Gaza are telling the BBC they have not eaten in two days, accusing armed gangs of looting incoming aid trucks and selling the contents on the black market at high prices.
Bakr Salah, 35, who is a nurse at Al-Shifa Hospital and father of two, describes a desperate scene in Gaza City.
“Yesterday they airdropped a very small amount of aid in our area,” he says.
“Thousands of people fought over it. Honestly, what was dropped wouldn’t feed half a neighbourhood.”
“My children are starving, they have not eaten a single meal for two days. We keep hearing about aid coming in, but we never see any of it,” he adds.
In the southern city of Khan Younis, Bilal Atallah, 45, a father of five, says he spent the entire day waiting for food.
“I had no choice but to buy flour from the looters who had stolen it from aid trucks,” he says. “It cost me $35 for one kilogram of flour.”
His account echoes those of many others across Gaza, where organised criminal groups reportedly intercept aid convoys and resell basic supplies such as flour and canned goods at prices most families cannot afford.
