US EditionUN says more food needed in Gaza as looting hampers deliveries
- Israel imposed an 11-week blockade on aid deliveries into Gaza from March 2 to May 19, severely restricting food and medical supplies.
- The blockade, combined with ongoing military operations and rising insecurity, caused acute food shortages and exacerbated malnutrition among Gaza's population.
- Aid began to trickle in after May 19 with about 305 trucks entering Gaza, but distribution has been hampered by armed looting near Khan Younis, killing six security personnel guarding shipments.
- The May 12 IPC report estimates 14,100 severe malnutrition cases among nearly 71,000 children under five, with UN spokesperson Jens Laerke warning that "getting supplies in is imperative" to save an estimated 14,000 babies.
- Without rapid and sustained aid access, UN officials and aid groups fear more deaths and long-term population consequences, while calls grow to significantly increase delivery amid worsening hunger and desperation.
