Gaza in Crisis: Hamas Cracks Down on Looting Amid Food Shortages

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has deepened as Hamas executed alleged looters following violent incidents at food stores and community kitchens. The executions come amid growing desperation, with heavily armed gangs reportedly attacking food supplies in the besieged enclave. 

Hamas officials claim some of the looters were collaborating with Israel, which has maintained a blockade preventing aid from entering Gaza for the past two months. The group has vowed to take strict measures against those accused of terrorizing civilians and stealing essential supplies. 

Meanwhile, the worsening food crisis has led to sporadic protests, as residents struggle to access basic necessities. The United Nations has warned of the dire humanitarian situation, emphasizing the urgent need for aid deliveries.
