UN Suspends Gaza Aid Amid Security and Looting Concerns
TL;DR Summary
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has halted aid deliveries through Gaza's main cargo crossing due to looting by armed gangs, blaming Israeli policies for the breakdown of law and order. This decision exacerbates Gaza's humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians reliant on aid. The Israeli military denies responsibility, accusing UNRWA of allowing Hamas infiltration. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed civilians, and former Israeli defense minister Moshe Yaalon has accused the government of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. Ceasefire talks continue behind the scenes.
