Israeli airstrikes kill over 200 in Gaza as UN suspends aid deliveries after truck thefts
Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza killed at least 200 people on Saturday, according to local health officials. This escalation occurs amid a worsening humanitarian crisis, with over 44,000 reported deaths since the conflict began last year. The United Nations has paused aid deliveries through the main crossing into Gaza after several trucks were stolen. This decision follows a series of thefts that have made aid distribution increasingly dangerous and difficult. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini highlighted the deepening hunger crisis in Gaza, stating that the situation has become "unnecessarily impossible" due to thefts and restrictions on aid. He emphasized Israel's responsibility to protect aid workers and supplies.
