The United Nations has suspended aid deliveries through the main Gaza crossing, Kerem Shalom, due to escalating security concerns and instances of looting. Recent Israeli military strikes have resulted in significant casualties, with reports of over 200 fatalities, further complicating the humanitarian crisis in the region. UNRWA has paused shipments as the route has become too dangerous for transport, directly citing looting incidents and violence perpetrated by criminal gangs. The situation is exacerbated by accusations against Israel, stating that the ongoing bombardment and chaos are obstructing aid access. Humanitarian officials report that hunger grips the population, yet aid workers face violent disruptions as they attempt to deliver essential supplies to those affected.
