UN expert calls for end of Gaza blockade in Cannes

At the Cannes Festival on May 23, UN expert Francesca Albanese called for Israel to fully lift the blockade on Gaza.
The call follows a two-month siege after a Hamas attack in October 2023 triggered a war, leading to Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis.
Albanese criticized current aid levels, noting only 107 trucks entered Gaza recently versus 500 to 600 daily during a ceasefire that ended in March, leaving no stockpiles.
The situation has spurred over 900 cultural personalities, including Catherine Deneuve, to unite in a public letter condemning the acts in Gaza as genocide and paying tribute to Palestinian journalists.
The continued blockade and military strikes have caused thousands of fatalities, leaving Gaza’s more than two million residents facing severe food shortages, while demands for Israel to withdraw from the area grow stronger.
