The United Nations and its agencies have raised concerns over the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, highlighting severe obstacles to aid delivery amid the conflict. UN spokespersons condemned the blocking of tents and shelter materials by Israel, despite evacuation orders, citing Israeli concerns that such supplies could be used for military purposes. The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) spokesperson described the situation as a real tragedy, emphasizing that aid trucks often take unsafe routes and fail to reach UN warehouses. Reports from UN officials refute Israeli claims denying hunger in Gaza, underscoring the persistence of starvation and the urgent need for food and medical supplies. Hundreds of trucks loaded with humanitarian aid have been stranded on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing for days, with cargo deteriorating under extreme heat, awaiting Israeli approval to enter Gaza. In a separate development, a ship carrying 1,200 tons of food supplies from Cyprus is approaching the Israeli port of Ashdod to support relief efforts. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates has played a substantial role in aid provision, with Emirati aid constituting 44% of international assistance to Gaza. According to Sultan Al Neyadi, UAE Minister of State for Youth Affairs, UAE aid to Gaza via air, land, and sea has exceeded $1.5 billion and 80,000 tons of supplies. Additionally, the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese criticized the labeling of all Palestinians in Gaza as Hamas, highlighting the human cost of the conflict, including the death of three siblings who remained under rubble for 44 days. The UN continues to call for an immediate halt to hostilities and safe, widespread humanitarian access to Gaza to allow for life-saving aid and reconstruction efforts.
