The residents who talked to The Press Service of Israel all spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution by Hamas.

M., a resident of Nuseirat, told TPS-IL described witnessing Hamas operatives, often out of uniform, looting aid trucks arriving from the Kerem Shalom crossing carrying items from Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

“They stole the packages with threats after beating the drivers and now they are selling them to the residents at an inflated price,” he said.
