On 16 November 2024, the Popular Forces, an Israeli backed militia accused of links with IS, raided a convoy of 109 United Nations aid trucks and looted 98 of them, near Israeli military installations at the Kerem Shalom border crossing in the Gaza Strip.[1] The perpetrators, who according to a UN memo may have had "protection" from the Israel Defense Forces, threw grenades and held truck drivers at gunpoint, forcing them to unload their aid. The incident further exacerbated the Gaza humanitarian crisis caused by the Gaza war.[2][3][4] The incident has been described by the UNRWA as "one of the worst" incidents of its kind.[5]
