Looting

Looting refers to the act of stealing goods, typically during chaotic situations such as natural disasters, wars, or civil unrest. It involves taking items from stores, homes, or public places without permission, often when law enforcement or security presence is weak or overwhelmed. Looting can disrupt communities, deplete resources, and hinder recovery efforts. It is generally considered illegal and unethical, as it involves theft and destruction, and can exacerbate suffering during already difficult circumstances.
