UN Chief Says Gaza War in 'Cruelest Phase' as Aid Trucks Looted
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on May 23, 2025, that Gaza is in the cruelest phase of war with aid deliveries severely restricted amid ongoing Israeli military actions.
- The situation followed an 11-week Israeli blockade starting March 2, 2025, which halted aid deliveries, fuel supplies, and trade goods entering Gaza before partial restrictions were recently lifted.
- Israel allowed about 300 aid trucks through Kerem Shalom crossing, but only a third reached warehouses due to insecurity, and 15 World Food Programme trucks were looted.
- Guterres stated only a "teaspoon of aid" has been authorized despite massive needs, warning that without safe, reliable aid access more people will die and long-term impact will be profound.
- The restricted aid and escalating conflict, with over 53,000 Palestinians killed mostly civilians, highlight dire humanitarian conditions and growing risks of famine in Gaza.
