UN WARNS THAT ‘ANARCHY’ IS SPREADING IN GAZA INCLUDING ‘LOOTING, MOB JUSTICE,
EXTORTION’

Strip on July 18, 2024. (Omar AL-QATTAA / AFP)

The United Nations human rights office (OHCHR) warns that “anarchy” is spreading
in the Gaza Strip, with rampant looting, unlawful killings and shootings as the
population faces a humanitarian crisis.

Ajith Sunghay, head of OHCHR for Gaza and the West Bank, describes unlawful
killings and looting in the absence of law enforcement linked to “Israel’s
dismantling of local capacity to maintain public order and safety in Gaza.”

“Our office has documented alleged unlawful killings of local police and
humanitarian workers, and the strangulation of supplies indispensable to the
survival of the civilian population. Anarchy is spreading,” says Sunghay, who
returned from a visit to Gaza yesterday.



Jeremy Laurence, spokesperson for OHCHR, says the conditions in Gaza have “led
to the predictable and entirely foreseeable unraveling of the fabric of society
in Gaza, setting people against one another in a fight for survival and tearing
communities apart.”

“There is looting, mob justice, extortion of money, family disputes, random
shootings, fighting for space and resources, and we see youths armed with sticks
manning barricades,” he says.
