UN halts aid shipments to Gaza due to looting and violence

The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees has stopped aid deliveries through Gaza's main crossing due to armed gangs looting convoys. This decision follows a significant increase in violence and looting, worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Kerem Shalom crossing, the primary route for aid, has become too dangerous. The U.N. blames Israeli policies for the breakdown of order, while Israel claims it allows sufficient aid and accuses U.N. agencies of mismanagement. Recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in civilian casualties, including children. The ongoing conflict has led to widespread destruction and displacement, with the U.N. estimating that 90% of Gaza's population has been affected.
