Flour massacre
My final time-waste: an addition to the Flour massacre page.
Rumours had circulated that an aid convoy would be passing along Al-Rashid Street,[1][2][3][4][5] and "thousands"[6][7] of people had gathered there before dawn to intercept it.[8][9] The crowd "descended on the line of vehicles as it travelled in darkness northwards along the coastal road".[10] The convoy — an Israeli initiative using trucks supplied by Palestinian businessmen[11] — "was moving towards the city centre"[12] on its way to a "destination in northern Gaza".[13]
The plunder of aid convoys was a problem in Gaza during the Israel–Hamas war.[14][15][16] The New York Times reported that "U.N. aid convoys carrying essential goods to northern Gaza have been looted, either by civilians fearing starvation or by organized gangs",[17] while an Egyptian convoy driver said that "the trucks were often looted by Gazans because of the scarcity of aid in the enclave".[18] On 20 February, a few days before the Al-Rashid Street incident, U.N. aid agencies announced that "food deliveries to war-torn northern Gaza had been suspended after looting attacks".[19] Israel responded by organising a series of convoys itself, including the one on 29 February.[20]
