UN delivers limited aid to Gaza as famine threat grows

The UN has delivered the first aid convoy to Gaza in 11 weeks, with 90 trucks entering via the Kerem Shalom crossing. The shipment includes food, medicine, and 500 pallets of nutrition supplies, but officials warn it falls far short of meeting the needs of 2.1m people, according to UN News.

Some bakeries, supported by the World Food Programme, have resumed limited bread production. However, fuel, fresh food, hygiene items, and water purification supplies remain blocked.

UN staff face long delays due to military operations, and humanitarian routes remain insecure. Al Awda Hospital in North Gaza was damaged in a reported attack, and water wells are failing due to fuel shortages. Nearly 500,000 people are on the brink of starvation, UN News reported.
