Abby Phillip Says Humanitarian Aid Trucks in Gaza Were Looted by Hungry People to Survive

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "For days, we‘ve been told that there‘s no evidence that Hamas is looting the trucks. Today, the United Nations' own data that they published said 90% of the trucks from May to July were looted by Hamas."

PHILLIP: "Scott, Scott, that data — hold on, Scott."

JENNINGS: "So, again, propaganda."

PHILLIP: "Stop. That data says that those trucks that you‘re talking about, it‘s not 90%, but those trucks that you are talking about were either taken by hungry people or by armed looters."

JENNINGS: "And who are the armed looters?"

PHILLIP: "Hold on a second, Scott. Do you know how many — what proportion of those trucks were taken by armed looters versus hungry people? No, you don‘t."

JENNINGS: "There are armed Hamas looters."

PHILLIP: "Scott, so I'm just saying — I'm just saying — I'm just saying — hold on a second."

JENNINGS: "But I'm just saying, you've said no evidence. There is evidence."

PHILLIP: "I am just saying, we have reporters in Gaza who are talking to women and families who go to the entrance points for aid trucks, and they go there to try to get aid directly from the trucks because they are worried about going to the distribution sites, because it is dangerous. So those hungry people are 'looting' from the trucks to survive. So I just want to — I just want to make that point."
