UN halts aid shipments to Gaza due to looting and blames Israeli policies

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has stopped aid shipments through Gaza's main crossing due to armed gangs looting convoys. The agency blames the situation on Israeli policies, which it says have led to a breakdown of law and order. This decision comes as winter approaches, worsening the humanitarian crisis for many Palestinians living in tent camps. The Kerem Shalom crossing, the only cargo route into Gaza, has been the main source of aid since the Rafah crossing was closed in May. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza killed at least six people, including two children, over the weekend. A former Israeli defense minister accused the government of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, while Israel continues to deny allegations of war crimes.
