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 amid a blockade and limited aid deliveries.
- Israel imposed a full blockade of Gaza starting March 2, 2025, halting all aid, fuel, and shipments until recently easing to allow limited aid trucks.
- Despite 107 aid trucks crossing Kerem Shalom on May 22 carrying food and medical supplies, insecurity and looting by gangs and desperate civilians hindered distribution.
- Guterres highlighted that the humanitarian aid entering Gaza is only a tiny fraction of what is desperately needed, emphasizing that 80% of the area is either militarized or evacuated and warning of increasing risks of famine.
- The ongoing blockade and military offensive have resulted in over 53,000 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, while global concern and protests continue over the worsening humanitarian crisis.
