Storyline: The UN agency for Palestine refugees decided on Sunday to halt aid delivery through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a main entry point for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, citing ongoing safety concerns along the route. Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), stated on social media platform X that on November 16, a large convoy of aid trucks was stolen by armed gangs, and on Saturday, a few food trucks were also taken. "This difficult decision comes at a time hunger is rapidly deepening. The delivery of humanitarian aid must never be dangerous or turn into an ordeal," Lazzarini said. In Gaza, the humanitarian operation has become unnecessarily impossible due to "the ongoing siege, hurdles from Israeli authorities, political decisions to restrict the amounts of aid, lack of safety on aid routes and targeting of local police," he further explained. Lazzarini urged the Israeli side to ensure the smooth entry of aid into Gaza. Israel has not yet responded to the decision made by UNRWA. Shotlist: FILE: Central Gaza Strip - Oct 30, 2024: 1.
