UNRWA Halts Gaza Aid via Kerem Shalom Amid Looting and Security Concerns
Dec 1, 2024, 10:25 AM
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has announced the suspension of aid deliveries through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a key route for humanitarian supplies into Gaza. The decision was made due to escalating security concerns, including looting by armed groups and the dangerous conditions on the route. UNRWA's chief stated that the suspension comes at a time when hunger in Gaza is rapidly worsening. Attempts to deliver food trucks through the crossing were thwarted by armed groups, with looting reported. The cost of basic goods has reportedly increased by over 1000%, and the ongoing blockade and logistical challenges have rendered humanitarian operations nearly impossible. This has exacerbated the dire situation for Gaza's population, which heavily depends on aid for survival.
