US EditionUN Chief Says Gaza War in 'Cruelest Phase' as Aid Trucks Looted
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated on May 23, 2025, that Gaza is in the cruelest phase of war with inadequate aid arriving amid ongoing violence and blockade.
- This crisis comes after Israel imposed an 11-week blockade starting March 2, 2025, which nearly stopped the flow of humanitarian assistance, energy supplies, and trade goods into Gaza before some restrictions were loosened earlier this week.
- Though about 300 aid trucks entered Gaza since blockade easing, only a third reached warehouses due to insecurity and attacks by criminal gangs on aid convoys.
- Guterres highlighted that the aid permitted into Gaza is only a small fraction of what is desperately needed, as the conflict has resulted in the deaths of over 53,000 Palestinians.
- The conflict and blockade are worsening humanitarian conditions and famine risks, highlighting urgent demands for safe, reliable, and sustained aid access to prevent further deaths.
