Aid Stalled in Gaza: UN Reports No Distribution Despite Entry

The United Nations has reported that humanitarian aid that entered Gaza this week has yet to reach Palestinians in need. Despite Israel allowing dozens of aid trucks into the region after months of blockade, logistical and security challenges have prevented the supplies from being distributed.

UN officials stated that while aid trucks have crossed into Gaza, they remain stuck at the Kerem Shalom crossing due to restrictions imposed by the Israeli military. Aid workers have been unable to transport the supplies to distribution points, leaving thousands of Palestinians without essential food, medicine, and other necessities.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to escalate, with reports of severe malnutrition and starvation among the population. UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher warned that thousands of babies could die within days if aid does not reach them soon. International pressure on Israel has intensified, with countries such as the UK suspending trade negotiations in response to the worsening situation.

Efforts are ongoing to find alternative routes for aid distribution, but uncertainty remains over whether the supplies will reach those in need. As the crisis deepens, humanitarian organizations urge immediate action to prevent further suffering.
