UN warns Gaza aid ‘nowhere near enough’ | BBC News

Description :

As Israel eases its 11‑week aid block, the UN has warned the aid getting in to Gaza is ‘nowhere near enough’, and that 2.1 million people remain at risk of famine. UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres said while almost 400 lorries were cleared for entry into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, supplies from only 115 have actually been collected. He said Gaza is in the ‘cruellest phase’ of the war, adding that ‘more people will die’ without quick and ongoing access to aid. Meanwhile, Benjamin Netanyahu attacked leaders of the UK, France and Canada and accused them of ‘emboldening Hamas’ after their leaders criticised Israel for its ongoing military escalation and lack of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
