US EditionIsraeli officials signal they want UN to remain key Gaza aid channel, says senior UN official
GAZA, JUL 11 – Israeli officials favor the United Nations for aid delivery in Gaza, citing its reliable system that provided 600-700 trucks daily during a recent ceasefire, U.N. said.
- On Friday, the deputy head of the U.N. World Food Programme stated that Israeli officials prefer the United Nations to continue serving as the primary channel for aid distribution in Gaza amid the ongoing conflict.
- Following Israel’s decision to end its nearly three-month restriction on aid shipments to Gaza in mid-May, limited U.N. humanitarian deliveries have resumed amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations facilitated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, with Hamas emphasizing the importance of aid access as a critical issue in the talks.
- Carl Skau, the U.N. food agency’s deputy executive director, reported that during the truce the U.N. delivered 600-700 trucks of aid daily, noting steady aid reduces looting and the U.N. was asked to prepare to scale up delivery.
- The human rights branch of the United Nations reported 615 fatalities near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation locations and 183 deaths likely occurring along aid convoy routes managed by the U.N. and its partners, while GHF claims to have distributed over 70 million meals and denies any fatalities at its distribution sites.
- The information suggests the U.N. maintains its central role in humanitarian aid despite challenges from Israel's military operations, contested aid groups, and security risks impacting Gaza relief efforts.
