The Gaza Tribal Gathering confirmed on Friday that the humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip "has not benefited any of the residents" and has been "stolen by the enemy."

In a press conference, tribal representatives rejected any cooperation with Israeli-US aid distribution centers, stating, “They provide us with aid soaked in blood, and we refuse to deal with them.”

The tribes appealed to the international community and the US envoy to witness firsthand the tragic conditions in Gaza. “Nearly 90 Palestinians are martyred every day. Will this satisfy the free world?” the gathering asked.

In parallel, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that 104 aid trucks entered the Strip on Thursday but were systematically looted under occupation supervision. The office accused the Israeli occupation of pursuing a deliberate policy of “engineering chaos and starvation” to obstruct aid distribution and deprive civilians of essential supplies.

The office reiterated that Gaza requires no less than 600 trucks per day, carrying relief supplies and fuel, to meet the minimum requirements for health, food, and public services.

Call for Independent UN Supervision

Officials warned of an ongoing "double crime" being committed against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza, including 1.1 million children who are deprived of food and infant formula.

The media office called for the immediate and complete opening of all border crossings and emphasized the need for the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid under independent UN supervision to ensure transparency and protection from looting.

This escalation in the humanitarian crisis coincides with continued military aggression by the Israeli occupation across the Gaza Strip. Civilian areas and tents sheltering displaced persons are being targeted, with reports of systematic attacks on Palestinians waiting in aid distribution lines.

The blockade on the Gaza Strip remains in place, and daily casualties from famine, malnutrition, and aerial assaults continue to mount, deepening what humanitarian agencies describe as a full-scale disaster.

'Israel' arming ISIS-affiliated gang to loot aid in Gaza

Earlier in June, "Israel" was accused of arming a Palestinian gang in southern Gaza, reportedly to counter Hamas, raising alarm over the use of proxy forces and the looting of humanitarian aid convoys.

Verified satellite imagery and footage obtained by Haaretz reveal that a new Palestinian armed group, led by a man identified as Yasser Abu Shabab, has increased its operations in eastern Rafah.

The area was under the direct control of the Israeli occupation forces. The group, which refers to itself as the "Anti-Terror Service", reportedly consists of approximately 100 armed men and has been described as both a criminal gang and a militia.

According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli regime allegedly supplied Abu Shabab’s faction with Kalashnikov rifles, including some seized from Hamas fighters.

The reported operation was said to have received approval from the Israeli security cabinet and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The article detailing these claims was cleared for publication by the Israeli military censor.

Abu Shabab, a Rafah resident with a known criminal background, has been accused of coordinating aid theft operations.

The militia’s links with Israeli forces have been acknowledged by Abu Shabab’s own family, who publicly disowned him in a statement, saying, "We affirm that we will not accept Yasser’s return to the family... his blood is forfeit." The statement came after videos circulated showing the gang cooperating with undercover units of the Israeli occupation in Gaza.

Abu Shabab, for his part, has claimed that his men are protecting aid deliveries. However, Hamas officials and humanitarian witnesses have repeatedly accused their militia of targeting and looting these convoys, worsening the already dire humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
