Following a series of assassinations against Hamas police officers in Rafah in recent weeks, many policemen have abandoned their mission on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing, and are not securing the entry of trucks into the Gaza Strip - the Washington Post reported today (Friday).
According to the report, the IDF strikes against the Hamas police caused a dramatic drop in the amount of humanitarian aid that entered the Gaza Strip.
Various sources who spoke to the newspaper pointed to a direct connection between the killing of policemen in the southern Gaza Strip and the damage to the ability to continue delivering aid, while warning of an increasing hunger in the Gaza Strip "Drivers were shot, attacked with axes and knives, and had their windows smashed," said UN humanitarian aid coordinator James McGoldrick.

According to data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, only 62 trucks entered Gaza on average each day during the past two weeks - a much lower number than Israel committed to under the previous agreements, which also reached hundreds of trucks per day. The newspaper quoted aid organizations in the Gaza Strip as saying that it was necessary bring in no less than 500 aid trucks every day.
David Strafield, the special envoy of the Biden administration for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, says that "with the departure of the police escort it will be almost impossible for the UN or anyone else to deliver aid to Gaza due to the criminal gangs This feeds a vicious cycle that intensifies and strengthens the criminal activity in the Strip."
