In Gaza, “a real mafia gets its hands on almost all the aid”. Death, Israeli bombings, diseases, lack of water, food and now a new scourge is added: crime.
With the dismantling of Hamas, until then in power in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian territory is experiencing a collapse of order. There is no more government, and therefore no more authority. Gangs are emerging and taking advantage of the distress of a deprived population. The aid is resold to the Gazan population at exorbitant prices. Before the war, a bag of flour cost around ten dollars. It is now over $200.
