The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has stopped aid deliveries through the main cargo crossing into Gaza due to safety concerns. Armed gangs have looted aid convoys, making the route too dangerous. This decision comes as winter approaches, worsening the humanitarian crisis for many in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands are living in tent camps and depend on international food aid. Additionally, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least six people overnight, including two children. The situation remains critical as experts warn of famine in the northern region.
