UN Condemns Israel's Blockade on Gaza Tents Amid Health System Collapse, Calls for 60-Day Truce

The United Nations has condemned Israel's continued blockade preventing the entry of tents and other humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, despite prior announcements allowing such deliveries. UN agencies, including UNRWA and UN OCHA, have highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with hospitals overwhelmed, the health system collapsing, and the population on the brink of famine. The UN spokesperson emphasized the urgent need to halt attacks on aid workers and ensure safe and widespread delivery of assistance to the most vulnerable. Israel has expressed concerns that tents and shelters could be used for military purposes as it seeks control over Gaza. Medical personnel, including Pakistani-American doctors working in Gaza, have reported not only the devastating impact of Israeli attacks but also severe malnutrition-related cases. UN officials have called for an immediate ceasefire and a 60-day truce to allow for urgent relief and reconstruction efforts, warning that Israel's hardening stance risks prolonging the conflict and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
