Shortly after 5 p.m. local time Wednesday, trucks carrying food from the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) passed an Israeli checkpoint and entered the rubble-strewn no-man’s-land of northern Gaza. Immediately, they were overwhelmed.
"Hundreds of thousands" of aid seekers who had been waiting for hours surged to within 100 meters of the checkpoint, and Israeli troops began to fire rifle and artillery rounds, according to an internal WFP mission security report seen by The Washington Post.
Soon, the U.N. convoy was overrun. Within three hours, all 47 trucks were ransacked. The convoy had barely traveled several hundred meters.
