The IDF has destroyed tens of thousands of humanitarian aid, including large quantities of food intended for the residents of Gaza, which deteriorated and expired after being left waiting for many weeks on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing. This was stated by the Israeli broadcaster Kan citing military sources.

According to the sources, the amount of supplies destroyed is estimated at over a thousand trucks. "We buried everything and even burned some," a source said. "There are still thousands of packages waiting in the sun today, and if they are not transferred to Gaza, we will be forced to destroy them."

The news of the destruction of aid comes as the humanitarian crisis due to lack of food and essential goods worsens day by day in Gaza. The source cited by Kan attributed the destruction of aid to a "problem in the distribution mechanism." "The mechanism simply does not work," he said, arguing that it has not yet been fully regulated. "Trucks get stuck" and "even coordination does not work."
