UN Warns of Declining Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

New York: The United Nations (UN) has expressed concern over the decline in humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and its impact on the safety and well-being of Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, particularly children.

UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said the continued killing of children serves as a reminder that Palestinians in the occupied West Bank must be protected under international law and that those responsible for violations must be held accountable.

The UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory reported the death of a four-month-old infant after Israeli soldiers allegedly prevented access through a gate blocking the main entrance to a village west of Ramallah, delaying urgent medical treatment.

Ajith Sunghay, Director of the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, said the incident reflects what he described as the occupying power’s continued disregard for the rights of Palestinians living under occupation.

In Gaza, the United Nations continued over the weekend to collect food and fuel shipments through the Karam Abu Salem crossing. Dujarric said the quantities entering the Strip remain limited due to the closure of other crossings and restrictions on certain supplies.

According to data from the UN Mechanism 2720, the volume of humanitarian supplies delivered by the United Nations and its partners declined to fewer than 42,000 pallets in June, compared to approximately 46,600 pallets in May.
