Hundreds of Arabs in Shechem stormed the United Nations World Food Program warehouses on Sunday for flour that health officials in the Palestinian Authority (PA) said is unfit for consumption, according to the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency. Police intervened and dispersed the crowds.
The news agency claimed that it received official documents that the flour was suitable for use. The PA has received 21,000 tons of flour from the U.N., with 4,000 tons allocated for Shechem.
