Overview

• OCHA spokesperson Jens Laerke declared in Geneva that 100% of Gaza’s population is threatened by famine, labeling it the most food-insecure area on earth.
• Since lifting its total blockade in March, Israel has approved 900 aid trucks but only 600 shipments have reached Gaza and an even smaller number have been delivered due to bombardments and security risks.
• The UN condemned relief efforts as a “food distribution at a trickle,” calling it one of the most obstructed humanitarian operations in recent history.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by Israel and the United States, has begun limited aid distributions, yet the UN and major NGOs reject collaboration over concerns about neutrality and impartiality.
• Desperate families often overwhelm incoming convoys to secure supplies, underscoring the uneven distribution of donor-funded aid across displacement sites.
