"The United Nations on Friday urged Israel to quickly open all border crossings into the Gaza Strip, saying it will take some time to scale up efforts to thwart the famine situation in the enclave. Since a ceasefire was agreed, the UN says it has been able to deliver nearly 3,000 tons of food but acknowledged that it will take time to "flood Gaza with food." Israel has largely barred international aid organizations from entering Gaza since March."
"Tom Fletcher, the UN's humanitarian head, said in a social media video published Friday, "We've begged for this access for months and finally we're seeing goods moving at scale: food, medicine, tents, fuel a lot of fuel got in today."

The United Nations urged Israel to quickly open all border crossings into the Gaza Strip to address a looming famine. Since a ceasefire, nearly 3,000 tons of food have been delivered, but far larger volumes will be required to adequately feed the enclave. Israel has largely barred international aid organizations from entering Gaza since March, creating significant access constraints. Scaling up relief will take time due to logistics, permissions, and distribution challenges. Initial movements of food, medicine, tents and fuel signal progress, but comprehensive access and sustained deliveries remain essential to avert widespread hunger.
