The UN said on Tuesday that while aid trucks have been allowed to enter the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom border crossing, its teams have been unable to access and distribute the shipments.
“Today, one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Kareem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse,” said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric.
“So just to make it clear, while more supplies have come into the Gaza Strip, we have not been able to secure the arrival of those supplies into our warehouses and delivery points,” he added.
Dujarric said that only four trucks of baby food were dropped off on the Gaza side of the border on Monday, and a few dozen trucks of flour, medicine, and other basic goods entered Gaza on Tuesday.
Dujarric’s comments came as Tom Fletcher, the UN’s humanitarian chief, warned that 14,000 babies could starve to death “within the next 48 hours” if aid doesn’t reach them. Fletcher described the difficulty of the UN distributing aid due to the continued Israeli military operations in Gaza.
“We run the risk of looting. We run the risks of being hit as part of the Israeli military offensive. We run all sorts of risk trying to get that baby food through to those mothers who cannot feed their children right now because they’re malnourished,” Fletcher said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu first announced on Sunday that Israel would allow a “basic” amount of food to enter Gaza and has since made clear that he took the step to ensure continued US support for his genocidal war. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also said allowing “minimal” aid deliveries would help Israel achieve its goal of “destroying” Gaza.
All of this is a PR stunt, designed to buy time for Israel to complete its genocidal removal of these people from their land. It is good to see some nations realizing the magnitude of this atrocity, but only one nation is able to stop Israel. As of yet the morally bankrupt US simply does not care to do so.
If they cannot live in peace with Israel, then Israel has to show them the door. It has been Hamas's choice for 19 months.
What has been shown the door is your humanity. We are well acquainted on this site with your sick, and ultimately futile support for genocide. There is no moral case to be made for an aggressive murderous land stealing regime like Israel, in this or any other plane of existence.
I have only one message and that is to Hamas– Lay down your arms and release all the hostages and this could have been over at any time in the last 19 months. What is your end game in bringing this mess, this catastrophe and chaos, upon the good people of Gaza?
Once a fool, an angry men or a psycho loses control, nothing can be taken back. You are part of the genocide. I understand you very well. You project evil on to Hamas but the debauched soul is in you, and those like you. You lash out at Hamas for not surrendering, you blame Hamas for the Israeli genocide and you blame "Islamist" propaganda for why no one believes anything you say. You are not a super man or woman, you are a shadow of what it means to be human.

If you cannot make a valid point, shut up.
Hamas agreed to a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, and stated their conflict was with the Zionist project not with the Jews. Therefore, they clearly do not want to destroy Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Hamas_charter
UN Special Committee finds Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza consistent with genocide, including use of starvation as weapon of war. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/un-special-committee-press-release-14nov24/
Even Once Reluctant Scholars Now Agree on Israel's Gaza Assault: It's a Genocide https://www.commondreams.org/news/israel-is-committing-genocide-in-gaza
"Only a tiny number of progressive Democratic lawmakers in the U.S. have used the word "genocide" to describe Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza, and the U.S. public divided, with less than 40% of Americans saying last year that the term described the Israel Defense Forces' bombing of hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and other civilian infrastructure.
But for seven leading international experts on genocide, the question is not controversial—even for those who previously rejected the label."
Read entire article for what those experts now believe.
Then why after 19 months of bombing a very small geographical area, and starving them, the population has not decreased?? Over 50,000 births last year— Someone is not giving you the whole truth.
I am not saying that the good people of Gaza are not suffering, but that is because of Hamas and their methods. There is no debate about that!
You, Israel, Zionists, racists have turned Hamas in to good, because Hamas is the opposite of Zionism, genocide, racism.
Israel was born of terrorism, as its early leaders so bragged and as its current leaders operate. Let it also die by the resistance you deem “terrorism.”
Zio bot.
Could be a BioZioBot.
Compared to the Israel Genocide Force, Hamas is the apex of human morality and decency.
They did not need to do this, but Israel is morally on par with Nazi Germany. Which is not too surprising because Zionism and Nazism are complementary racist purist ideologies. Which is why Neonazis today admire, envy Israel and emulate their dehumanizing retoric, speaking of "disinfecting" and "sterilising" what they regard as their prospective white nationalist Utopias too. Some things just remain the same.
The gap has closed and there is no light left between Nazism and Zionism. Israel today pisses on the graves of all who perished in the Holocaust, while smiling and giggling in the camera, making a selfie to post for the likes. It is a sickness that eats away all traces of humanness, an all devouring self-radicalizing rot, leaving a world morphed into its unlivable inhuman image.
Genocide isn’t part of war. Geneva Convention, ya know? Your excuses, denials and whitewashing isn’t going over on these boards. How many shekels per post do you get? You don’t have to answer that.
The first casualty of war is the truth. Death is death. We are all going to die. However, racism, greed and/or power can never justify man's inhumanity to man. Not when there are mitigating circumstances, not when events transpire in a gray area but when the core of your conscience says this is wrong.
"And when the baby girl, buried alive, is asked for what crime was she killed." Q 81:8-9
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."—- Great neighbors!
When you say "great" you should put your hand on your head and bow in shame. Evil was made to be obliterated.
Your silly Zionist propaganda will continue until you die.
"Your silly Zionist propaganda will continue until you die."
Likely true of piss stain.
Because what the piss stain-type have genuine trouble facing is that there exists a world beyond Israel: a world of normative, post-Auschwitz moral judgments – a world where not everyone is a racist murdering Zionist.
So watching piss stain's repeated rationalization of outright genocide?
It's like watching a psychopath calmly 'explain' his basement child torture chamber:
'What? "Made members of the jury faint"? "Depraved criminality"? "Guilty"??? What didn't the jury understand?! Can't I just explain it to them again?!'
I think he’s just taking the piss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_the_piss
Israel is a squatter neighbor, just like all the other colonists in history, but we had hoped that mankind had moved beyond that, but Israel proves us wrong, every day. Never hate anything because you will become what you hate the most. Israel has become Nazi Germany in everything but name. And, by far most Israelis are for the current agenda of genocide, but there always exceptions that the MSM are reluctant to expose.
We are the corrupted. We have not asked to be corrupted, rather our so-called (Israeli?) public in the house and senate have volunteered to become corrupted in our place. This is called a representative "democracy".
The choice to end this mess had been on the table for Hamas for 19 months. Lay down your arms and release all the hostages.
What you defend is when human beings go beyond all human mercy and morality. You're right to lash out at Hamas. In this case they represent good and you represent evil.. The shoes of Hamas fighters are more noble than you or anything you stand for. The making of a genocide is not just the netanyahu's, the soldiers, the infrastructure but its sick people like you enable the genocide.
Zionists have been committing genocide and crimes against humanity for 77 years. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c2824da423f46c5b2242cf6fcc2e8e2f6bc0f7f6fb6bdf4b89e108bc1549d666.jpg

This goes well beyond two men. History of colonial brutality is being justified by the entire West. Is this the message to the world – obey or we will obliterate you. Collective superior West is angry. Time to out natives in place. Because experience tells them that prople can be manipulated into divisions, and then pick and choose pets and use them to generate chaos. It worked for hundreds of years. Promise anything to fools, watch them fight against each other.
Once the blood is in the water it goes in autopilot. Hunt begins. Hunters at times get so caught up in the game, that forget to take care of their own huts.
And for that you are willing to kill entire population. If we did not this before — now we know.
Any resistance to a brutal occupation by brutal European colonists is in the eyes of humanity and God jystified. The era of brutal colonial mind set clearly is not over. And all former European colonial masters wholeheartedly approve as they watch the young bodies eat themselves in the desparate fight to live.
Stop excusing inhumanity. It is indefensible. Our time has just been defined by what we know is halpening — unthinkable attrocity.
And nobody is having the currage to stop
it. Is this the end of history — the men without chest? The world of sadists and cowards.
"And…you are willing to kill entire population."
oh, indeed-y-doo he is willing – only thing he's unwilling to do is take any human responsibility for the act of murder.
seriously, piss stain would pull the plugs on Gazan premie incubators, warbling this little song he made up:
'I-I-I love CHILL-dren, but HAHH-mas made me DOOO it!
' Lay down your arms and release all the hostages.' So Israel can further shoot children and banish the rest from their homes. Nothing is lower today than Zionism and its agenda of stealing more land for the greater Israel agenda. There will be no peace until Zionism is conquered and erased from Earth.
There's still time to end the empire of genocide before it gets us first.
