According to the German news agency on December 24, dozens of Palestinians in southern Gaza erupted in angry demonstrations against Hamas on December 24, after Hamas militants allegedly opened fire on a group of young men trying to collect aid.
Eyewitnesses reported riots involving dozens of people in Rafah, near the Egyptian border, the report said.
Hamas militants allegedly shot people who tried to take humanitarian aid without Hamas's approval, sparking outrage among demonstrators.
The humanitarian situation in this densely populated coastal area is becoming more and more like a catastrophe due to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip and months-long military offensive, the report said. The limited distribution of aid in Gaza has at times turned into a scene of looting and chaos.
The report also said that the United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza, but Israel insists on monitoring the delivery of supplies to prevent entrainment**. At the same time, Israel** insisted that the inspections did not impede the delivery of supplies and accused UN relief agencies of failing to properly distribute aid. But the United Nations** said wartime conditions and Israeli air strikes had made it increasingly difficult to transport and distribute goods. (Compiled by Yang Xinpeng).
