UN Warns Almost a Third of Gaza Residents Going Without Food for Days
Israeli security official hints at possible airdrops of aid into Gaza, despite concerns over efficiency. International pressure mounts as Germany, France, and the UK call for immediate lifting of aid restrictions. UN Secretary-General criticizes lack of action and compassion in addressing Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
An Israeli security official mentioned that airdrops of aid into Gaza might be permitted soon, despite concerns from aid agencies about its efficiency. Reports indicated that the United Arab Emirates and Jordan were expected to conduct the airdrops, but a senior Jordanian official clarified that they were awaiting approval from Israel.
The UN criticized the move as a diversion from taking meaningful action by the Israeli government, as international worries about the humanitarian situation in Gaza continued to grow. On the same day, Germany, France, and the UK urged Israel to lift aid flow restrictions into Gaza immediately.
In a joint statement, the countries emphasized the need to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the ongoing conflict, urging Israel to comply with international humanitarian laws. They condemned the withholding of essential aid to civilians as unacceptable.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed dismay at the lack of action and compassion from the international community towards the situation in Gaza. He highlighted the deaths of over 1,000 Palestinians who were killed while seeking food access since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) began distributing supplies as an alternative to the UN-led system on 27 May.
