UNRWA, the UN agency in charge of delivering aid to Gaza’s civilian population has temporarily suspended its program of distributing aid, after two incidents in which Hamas operatives intercepted incoming shipments.  In the latest incident, detailed by AFP, Hamas seized 10 truckloads of rice and flour, prompting the UN agency to halt aid delivery until the stolen goods were returned.  Hamas, of course, says this whole incident was a mistake, as they believed the aid was meant for them.

Whatever the case, this news is decidedly bad for the people who really do need the food–and who almost didn’t get it.
