The United Nations has issued a rare public condemnation of Hamas after armed terrorists reportedly stormed a humanitarian aid distribution site in Jabalia, halted food deliveries, and assaulted truck drivers transporting humanitarian supplies.

In a statement, UN Humanitarian Coordinator Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov strongly condemned what he described as the disruption of humanitarian operations in Gaza by the territory’s “de facto authorities,” referring to Hamas. He said the incident endangered aid workers, intimidated personnel delivering life-saving assistance, and interfered with critical humanitarian efforts.

According to the UN, the attack occurred on Saturday when Hamas terrorists forcibly entered the Abu Rashid aid distribution site in northern Gaza, stopping food distribution. The armed terrorists also entered a World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse and assaulted two truck drivers delivering humanitarian aid.

Alakbarov said the incident reflects a growing pattern of intimidation, violence, interference with aid operations, and abuse of humanitarian workers. He called for an immediate end to all interference in humanitarian activities and urged that aid workers be protected and humanitarian assistance allowed to move safely and without obstruction.
