There have been no reports of looting of aid convoys entering Gaza since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas came into effect on Sunday. “These two first days of entry: there have been no records of looting or attacks against aid workers,” Jens Laerke, spokesman for the UN humanitarian agency OCHA, told reporters in Geneva. During the 15-month war, “there has been a sad, tragic history of looting happening”, he said. “The past two days, we have not seen any looting. We have not seen any organised armed gangs or groups, whatever you want to call them, attacking the aid that is coming in,” he added.
