UN halts aid deliveries through main Gaza crossing due to safety concerns
npr.org —
The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees has stopped aid deliveries through the main crossing into Gaza due to safety concerns. Armed gangs have looted aid convoys, worsening the humanitarian crisis as winter approaches. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least six people, including two children, amid ongoing military operations. The strikes have drawn criticism for civilian casualties, while Israel maintains it targets militants. A former Israeli defense minister accused the government of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, where humanitarian aid is severely restricted. The International Criminal Court is investigating allegations of war crimes against Israeli officials, which Israel rejects as biased.
