May 29 (UPI) -- Hungry Gazans broke into an aid warehouse in central Gaza on Wednesday, which caused two reported deaths, according to officials with the U.N. World Food Program.
"Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP's Al-Ghafari warehouse in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza, in search of food supplies that were pre-positioned for distribution," the WFP said Wednesday in a prepared statement.
"Humanitarian needs have spiraled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza," the WFP said.
The agency said "alarming and deteriorating conditions" in Gaza and a limited availability of humanitarian aid to "hungry people in desperate need of assistance" have increased risks associated with aid distribution.
