The UN aid agency in Gaza says it has suspended all relief shipments after hundreds of tonnes worth of food aid were seized by the Hamas government.
Ten truckloads of flour and rice were taken from the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing.
Unrwa said it would not restart aid until it had assurances from Hamas that such thefts would not be repeated.
Gaza is facing a humanitarian crisis after Israel's three-week offensive.
About half the population is dependent on UN food aid. The UN said it had increased its food distribution in recent weeks to cover 900,000 of Gaza's population of 1.5 million.
Israel intensified a blockade on the territory 19 months ago when Hamas took over the territory.
