US EditionUN Chief Says Gaza War in 'Cruelest Phase' as Aid Trucks Looted
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on May 23, 2025, that Gaza faces a dire humanitarian crisis due to an ongoing Israeli military offensive and restricted aid access.
- This crisis follows Israel's 11-week blockade started on March 2, 2025, which blocked nearly all aid, fuel, and commercial goods from entering Gaza until recently.
- On May 22, Israel allowed 107 trucks carrying flour, food, medical supplies, and drugs through the Kerem Shalom crossing, but only about a third of the 300 truckloads reached warehouses due to insecurity and looting.
- Guterres criticized the limited aid allowed into Gaza as insufficient compared to the vast amount urgently needed, warned of the risk of famine, and reported that over 53,000 Palestinians—mostly civilians, including women and children—have died.
- The situation indicates urgent humanitarian needs remain unmet with aid deliveries threatened by insecurity, looting, and ongoing military operations, while the UN refuses to endorse a new US-backed distribution plan.
