Israeli protesters blocked aid trucks destined for Gaza on Monday, throwing food packages onto the road and ripping bags of grain open in the occupied West Bank.
The lorries, which were set upon at the Tarqumiya checkpoint west of Hebron, came from Jordan and were heading to Gaza, where people are in desperate need of humanitarian aid.
The White House has condemned the attack, describing the "looting" of aid convoys as "a total outrage".
The group reportedly behind the blockade said they were protesting against the continued detention of Israeli hostages.
The action on the aid lorries comes just a day after the United Nations reported one of its staff members was killed and another injured as they travelled to a hospital in southern Gaza on Monday.
