The situation in Gaza is dire, with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, halting aid deliveries through the Karem Abu Salem crossing due to serious security concerns, including theft by armed gangs.
UNRWA’s head, Philippe Lazzarini, emphasized that the safety of aid delivery routes has deteriorated significantly, with most attempts to deliver aid to northern Gaza being denied by Israeli forces.
The ongoing siege and bombardment have exacerbated hunger in Gaza, leading to desperate conditions for the residents. Lazzarini’s announcement comes in the wake of increased violence, including the recent killing of aid workers, which highlights the risks associated with delivering humanitarian assistance in the region.
Furthermore, Israel’s accusations against UNRWA, alleging infiltration by Hamas, have led to the termination of agreements with the agency, raising concerns about the humanitarian crisis worsening further. The situation continues to evolve, with ongoing attacks on aid convoys contributing to the desperation of the population.
