The UN says starvation in Gaza is worsening, with aid deliveries severely hindered by Israeli military operations, checkpoints, and looting, despite ongoing shipments through border crossings, Xinhua reported.

According to the UN humanitarian office (OCHA), aid convoys face repeated delays and risks, while much of the food is seized before reaching communities. The UN insists that supplies must be delivered through community-based distribution points rather than militarized aid hubs, which remain unsafe.

OCHA urged Israeli authorities to allow consistent, large-scale access for both humanitarian and commercial supplies. Without unimpeded access, it warned, lives will continue to be lost.
