According to United Nations data, 88.7% of the organization’s aid trucks have been looted in Gaza since May 19.

Data shared by the United Nations’ 2720 Mechanism for Gaza show that of the 2,604 trucks that collected aid at border crossings, 2,310 were intercepted “peacefully by hungry civilians or forcefully by armed actors,” during transit.

Only 300 trucks, just 11.5%, successfully reached their intended destinations.

A spotlight on the data comes as Israel continues to face allegations of blocking aid to Gaza. UN figures show that Israel approved 112 aid requests in June and denied 38.

A video obtained by The Daily Wire shows a chaotic scene in southern Gaza last month, as more than a dozen UN aid trucks enter a dense crowd along the Morag route. As the convoy attempts to pass through, a mob swarms the vehicles, climbing aboard and looting the supplies.

Of the 44,650 tons offloaded at the crossings, UN trucks have picked up only 35,968 tons. This leaves 8,682 tons of aid sitting in the sun awaiting transport — a situation heavily criticized by both Israel and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which accuse the UN of failing to efficiently distribute its aid.

Due to the bottleneck and constant looting of UN trucks, GHF has repeatedly offered to help the UN distribute aid, but the offer has gone unanswered. Instead, the UN has continued to vilify the group.

GHF hit a milestone last week by distributing its 100 millionth meal since launching operations to feed Gazan civilians on May 26.

According to GHF, their aid boxes include enough food to feed a family of 5.5 three times a day for 3.5 days. Items vary depending on availability, cost, and other factors, but are built off of similar ingredient lists used by other humanitarian groups.

GHF is responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump’s aid initiative, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid directly to Gazan civilians while preventing Hamas from intercepting supplies — a challenge that has persisted since the war began.

On Monday, Trump said that he does not believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

“I don’t think it’s that. They’re in a war,” Trump responded to a reporter who asked him if he’s seen evidence of genocide in Gaza.

Trump added that the United States is making serious efforts to help get goods into Gaza.

“We’re putting up money to get the people fed,” he said, likely referring to the GHF site. “We don’t want people going hungry, and we don’t want people to starve.”

Israel has denied that there is mass starvation in the Gaza Strip, and has vowed to help increase food aid.

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad recently released videos of severely-malnourished hostages, including one of Evyatar David, who the terror organization forced to dig his own grave.

“This is the grave I think I’m going to be buried in. Time is running out,” David said in the video.

Hamas claimed that the hostages were receiving the same amount of food as the general population in Gaza. However, a moment in the propaganda video appeared to contradict that assertion, showing the muscular arm of a Hamas terrorist handing a can to the visibly emaciated David.

Hamas has reportedly barred the Red Cross from delivering food to hostages unless Israel permanently opens humanitarian corridors and suspends all air traffic during such deliveries, the Jerusalem Post reported.

BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil’s Supreme Court put former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest on Monday ahead of his trial for an alleged coup plot, underscoring the court’s resolve despite escalating tariffs and sanctions from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the target of U.S. Treasury sanctions last week, issued the arrest order against Bolsonaro. His decision cited a failure to comply with restraining orders he had imposed on Bolsonaro for allegedly courting Trump’s interference in the case.

Bolsonaro is on trial before the Supreme Court on charges he conspired with allies to violently overturn his 2022 electoral loss to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Trump has referred to the case as a “witch hunt” and called it grounds for a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods taking effect on Wednesday.

The U.S. State Department condemned the house arrest order, saying Moraes was using Brazilian institutions to silence opposition and threaten democracy, adding the U.S. would “hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct.”

It did not provide details, though Trump has said the U.S. could still impose even higher tariffs on Brazilian imports.

The Monday order from Moraes also banned Bolsonaro from using a cell phone or receiving visits, except for his lawyers and people authorized by the court.

A press representative for Bolsonaro confirmed he was placed under house arrest on Monday evening at his Brasilia residence by police who seized his cell phone.

Bolsonaro’s lawyers said in a statement they would appeal the decision, arguing the former president had not violated any court order.

In an interview with Reuters last month, Bolsonaro called Moraes a “dictator” and said the restraining orders against him were acts of “cowardice.”

Some Bolsonaro allies have worried that Trump’s tactics may be backfiring in Brazil, compounding trouble for Bolsonaro and rallying public support behind Lula’s leftist government.

However, Sunday demonstrations by Bolsonaro supporters — the largest in months — show that Trump’s tirades and sanctions against Moraes have also fired up the far-right former army captain’s political base.

Bolsonaro appeared virtually at a protest in Rio de Janeiro via phone call to his son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, in what some saw as the latest test of his restraining orders.

Moraes said that the former president had repeatedly made attempts to bypass the court’s orders.

“Justice is blind, but not foolish,” the justice wrote in his decision.

On Monday, Senator Bolsonaro told CNN Brasil that Monday’s order from Moraes was “a clear display of vengeance” for the U.S. sanctions against the judge, adding: “I hope the Supreme Court can put the brakes on this person (Moraes) causing so much upheaval.”

The judge’s orders, including the restraining orders under penalty of arrest, have been upheld by the wider court.

Those orders and the larger case before the Supreme Court came after two years of investigations into Bolsonaro’s role in an election-denying movement that culminated in riots by his supporters that rocked Brasilia in January 2023. That unrest drew comparisons to the January 6, 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol after Trump’s 2020 electoral defeat.

In contrast with the tangle of criminal cases which mostly stalled against Trump, Brazilian courts moved swiftly against Bolsonaro, threatening to end his political career and fracture his right-wing movement. An electoral court has already banned Bolsonaro from running for public office until 2030.

Another of Bolsonaro’s sons, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman, moved to the U.S. around the same time the former president’s criminal trial kicked off to drum up support for his father in Washington. The younger Bolsonaro said the move had influenced Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on Brazil.

In a statement after the arrest on Monday, Congressman Bolsonaro called Moraes “an out-of-control psychopath who never hesitates to double down.”

Trump last month shared a letter he had sent to Bolsonaro. “I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you,” he wrote. “This trial should end immediately!”

Washington based its sanctions against Moraes last week on accusations that the judge had authorized arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppressed freedom of expression.

The arrest could give Trump a pretext to pile on additional measures against Brazil, said Graziella Testa, a political science professor at the Federal University of Parana, adding that Bolsonaro seemed to be consciously provoking escalation.

“I think things could escalate because this will be seen as a reaction to the Magnitsky sanction” against Moraes, said Leonardo Barreto, a partner at the Think Policy political risk consultancy in Brasilia, referring to the asset freeze imposed on Moraes last week.
