US EditionIsrael Not Letting in Enough Supplies Into Gaza, Says UN
The UN reports that less than a third of needed humanitarian aid is allowed into Gaza, causing severe hunger and threatening widespread famine among 2.4 million residents.
- According to the UN human rights office, Israel permits limited aid access to Gaza, which remains insufficient to avert a severe famine.
- This follows months of an Israeli blockade and military campaign that killed over 61,000 Palestinians and displaced most of Gaza's population.
- UN spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan reported that aid quantities remain far below what is required to avert widespread starvation, with risks affecting children and women.
- UNRWA has highlighted that millions of women and girls in Gaza are confronting severe starvation and are being forced to adopt hazardous methods to survive, while a Hamas representative described a recently agreed truce as a preliminary step toward formal war negotiations.
- These conditions underscore urgent calls to lift the blockade and deliver massive humanitarian aid, as ongoing violence and plans for Israeli control of Gaza City raise further concerns.
