UN Chief Says Gaza War in 'Cruelest Phase' as Aid Trucks Looted
- United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on May 23, 2025, that Gaza faces the war's cruelest phase amid a recent easing of Israel's 11-week blockade.
- The blockade, imposed by Israel on March 2, halted all aid and commercial shipments, causing severe shortages and escalating humanitarian crises in Gaza.
- Israel allowed about 300 aid trucks carrying essential supplies into Gaza via Kerem Shalom crossing, but only a third reached warehouses due to insecurity and looting risks.
- Guterres criticized Israel for permitting only a minimal amount of aid into Gaza, describing it as far too little compared to the vast humanitarian relief needed for the two million people facing starvation.
- The ongoing military campaign has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians, predominantly women and children, while the extremely limited humanitarian aid reaching Gaza highlights the critical need for safe and consistent access to support.
