Challenges in Delivering Aid to Gaza: UN's Struggle Amid New Measures

The United Nations food agency is facing difficulties in delivering the necessary humanitarian aid to Gaza. Despite new measures by Israel to facilitate more supplies, the agency has not received authorization for the requested volumes, as stated by Ross Smith of the World Food Programme.

The United Nations food agency announced challenges in delivering sufficient humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing a lack of authorization despite recent Israeli measures supposed to facilitate supply entry.
