Under growing global pressure, Israel ended an 11-week long blockade on Gaza 12 days ago, allowing limited UN-led operations to resume.

“Any aid that gets into the hands of people who need it is good,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in New York. But, he added, the aid deliveries so far overall have had “very, very little impact.”
The UN and international aid groups have refused to work with the GHF because they say it is not neutral and has a distribution model that forces the displacement of Palestinians.
Israel will allow aid deliveries “for the immediate future” via both the UN and the GHF, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon said this week.
Israel has long accused Hamas of stealing aid, which the group denies.
The UN says that in the past 12 days it has only managed to transport some 200 truckloads of aid into Gaza, hindered by insecurity and Israeli access restrictions.
UN officials have also criticized Israeli limitations on what kind of aid they can provide.
Some of recipients of GHF aid said the packages include some rice, flour, canned beans, pasta, olive oil, biscuits and sugar.
“More aid would actually get to the people if you would collect the aid waiting for you by the crossings,” COGAT, the Israeli military aid coordination agency, said to the UN in a posting on X on Friday.
And on Thursday, when 65 trucks of aid managed to leave the crossing, all but five turned back due to intense fighting.
