Israel Accuses UN of Blocking Aid to Gaza, Despite 950 Trucks Waiting at Border

Tel Aviv/Gaza – The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has publicly accused the United Nations of obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, as nearly 950 aid trucks remain stalled at border crossings.

In a statement posted on the official social media accounts of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, the government claimed that while Israel is facilitating the entry of aid and organizations like the Global Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) are ready to distribute it directly to civilians in Gaza, the UN is acting as a bottleneck.

“Nearly 950 aid trucks are waiting at the border, ready to support the people of Gaza. So who’s holding them back? The UN,” the post stated. “We call on the United Nations to stop blocking essential aid. Immediately.”

The statement has added fuel to an already heated debate surrounding the distribution of humanitarian assistance amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Israel has consistently emphasized that it is not obstructing the flow of aid and blames international agencies, particularly the UN, for delays.

There has been no immediate response from the United Nations regarding this specific accusation. UN officials have previously stated that logistical, security, and verification processes are essential to ensure that aid reaches civilians safely and is not diverted.

The GHF, which is mentioned in the Israeli statement, has not independently confirmed the UN’s role in the delay but has stressed the urgent need to get aid into Gaza as soon as possible.

The situation on the ground remains dire, with over two million residents in Gaza facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.

This is a developing story.
