"The UN must scale up logistics and stop blaming Israel for its own failures," COGAT wrote on X.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Phillipe Lazzarini claimed that Israeli authorities had informed the UN that they would no longer approve any UNRWA food convoys to the north of the Gaza Strip, according to a post on X on Sunday.

    Jpost is a shitty source. the IDF openly admits it will no longer allow UN aid to reach the North.

    Can we stop using them? The headline was written like this because Jpost still believes UNRWA is aligned to Hamas.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any UNRWA  food convoys to the north.

    By preventing UNRWA from fulfilling its mandate in Gaza, the clock will tick faster towards famine & many more will die of hunger, dehydration, + lack of shelter.

    Lazzarini also said that he wanted to visit Gaza but was denied entry by Israel, during his trip to Cairo last week.

    In COGAT’s post, not only do they claim that Israel is allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, but that trucks are being held up in Egypt before they have even arrived at Israeli Inspection.

    COGAT also announced that over 140 trucks containing humanitarian aid have entered Gaza through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, and are waiting for UN employees to pick them up for distribution.

    In his post, Guterress said, "Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza.

      Cool, so they let in 350 aid trucks last month, as opposed to the average of 15,000 per month (500 per day) before the war when most of Gaza wasnt blown to bits. Definitely nothing to see here, no attempted starvation in order to force people out into Egypt.

        According to UN reports figures are PER DAY. Not month. And yes, they are lower now than they were before, thanks for UNRWA smuggling weapons into Gaza. Or at least weapons being found in those trucks.
