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 the war, with aid trucks looted amid an ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.
  • This situation follows an 11-week Israeli blockade starting March 2, 2025, which halted all aid, fuel, and goods, prompting a recent, limited easing amid escalating military operations.
  • On May 22, Israel permitted 107 UN and international aid trucks carrying food and medical supplies to enter Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing; however, at least 15 trucks were looted by gangs while heading toward bakeries located in the southern part of the territory.
  • Guterres warned aid delivered so far is only a "teaspoon" when a flood is needed, noting about 160,000 pallets await entry, but insecurity prevents two-thirds of aid trucks from reaching Gaza warehouses.
  • The restricted aid and insecurity risk worsening famine and death, while Israel prepares a large offensive and tensions remain high, as protests call to end the war and release hostages.
