This wasn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last either. What's shocking is that the UN is providing the information. They've been covering for Hamass forever.

UN: Hamas stole from Gaza warehouse
By BRENDA GAZZAR, YAAKOV KATZ AND ELANA KIRSH
Armed Hamas policemen broke into a warehouse in Gaza City and confiscated thousands of blankets and hundreds of food packages intended for UNWRA refugees, an official from the relief and human development agency said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on Tuesday after the Ministry of Social Affairs unsuccessfully tried to confiscate food and other UNRWA supplies that were being transported to the organization's storage areas and the agency's staff resisted, said John Ging, UNRWA's operations director in the Gaza Strip.
A few Hamas policemen confiscated 3,500 blankets and more than 400 food packages prepared for distribution from an UNRWA warehouse on Tuesday afternoon, he said.
"They took it under gunpoint," Ging told The Jerusalem Post from the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City. "My staff had resisted earlier the confiscation of the convoy, as they are absolutely instructed to do…Compliments to them for that, but unfortunately, later, they came and took it by gunpoint."
