UN Says No Aid yet Distributed in Gaza Due to Insecure Access
- The United Nations reported on Tuesday that, although trucks carrying humanitarian aid have entered Gaza following the end of an 11-week blockade, no assistance has yet been delivered to people in need within the territory.
- The blockade was ended by Israel on Sunday due to international pressure, but the aid remained at a staging area at the Kerem Shalom border crossing awaiting Israeli clearance for distribution.
- U.N. Spokesman Stephane Dujarric explained that aid trucks carrying food, medicine, and baby supplies were stopped and could not reach those in urgent need due to required permission and safety checks.
- Israeli authorities reported that 93 aid trucks crossed into Gaza on Tuesday, a significant increase from the five trucks recorded on Monday, but UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric cautioned that this amount remains far below the hundreds of trucks needed each day to effectively respond to the humanitarian emergency.
- The continued delay in aid delivery suggests worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with urgent calls from international leaders and agencies for faster, unfettered access to prevent widespread famine and malnutrition.
