The majority of the aid sent to Gaza is being intercepted by armed militants and desperate civilians before it reaches its intended target, official figures show.
Data from the UN shows that just 14 per cent of the pallets collected at the Gaza border arrived safely at their destination.
The rest (86 per cent) were intercepted – 'either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors, during transit in Gaza', the UN said.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has previously accused armed militias of looting the aid convoys at gunpoint.
Figures show that of the 29,885 aid pallets collected for delivery in Gaza between mid-May and last weekend, 25,703 were taken en route.
