UN Warns 14,000 Babies in Gaza Could Die Within Days Without Immediate Aid as Humanitarian Trucks Arrive
Briefly

The U.N. warns that urgent medical and food aid is crucial for Gaza, where 14,000 babies may die within 48 hours without intervention. After an 11-week blockade, Israel allowed about 100 aid trucks to enter, but the flow remains disastrously low compared to pre-war levels, when 500 trucks daily supplied the enclave. The crisis worsens amidst renewed Israeli airstrikes, which have resulted in high casualties. A joint statement from the U.K., France, and Canada criticized Israel's humanitarian access restrictions, highlighting the dire situation and warning of potential consequences if conditions do not improve.
"This is not food that Hamas is going to steal. We run the risk of looting, of being hit by the Israeli offensive. We will be impeded, we will run huge risks..."
"The deepening humanitarian crisis comes amid renewed offensive. On Tuesday morning, at least 38 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes within a 30-minute span, Gaza's Health Ministry said."
