Ehab Fasfous, 52: “They’ve deprived us of so much that now we’re behaving like animals.”

Much of the little aid that comes into Gaza is grabbed off the trucks by hungry Gazans before it can be distributed in an orderly way. Some is taken by armed gangs. The United Nations says hundreds of people have been killed trying to get aid directly from the trucks, mostly by Israeli soldiers.

On Wednesday, Ehab Fasfous, 52, a resident of the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis, inched toward one of the routes that aid trucks use in Gaza, aware, he said, that Israeli soldiers could open fire if he ventured too close. He shared a series of videos of the mayhem he saw next: hundreds, perhaps thousands of people closing in on the trucks from every direction.

At one point in the videos, which he said he took, a man menaces another person with a knife near a bag of flour.

Mr. Fasfous went home empty-handed.

“They’ve deprived us of so much that now we’re behaving like animals,” he said.
