By Content movie The UN is to block humanitarian aid for Gaza:

Israel has allowed hundreds of trucks to enter Gaza, and the UN refuses to separate assistance. Trucks stand idle in Gaza, and next to them there are mountains of unused goods. This is deliberate sabotage of the UN. UN – separate this aid now!

War in Gaza

Since October 7, 2023, erstwhile the ruling Gaza Strip Hamas He attacked Israeli retaliatory action continues. The escalation opened a fresh phase in ongoing For years, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By data Doctors Without Borders from July this year, since 7 October 2023, more than 52,000 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza War. Through attacks on medical facilities or civilian infrastructure and limiting access to humanitarian aid in Gaza, Israel systematically destroys the conditions essential for life there.

Israel applied a comprehensive blockade on the supply of humanitarian aid to Gaza, introducing crucial restrictions on the approval of the content and control of movements of humanitarian convoys. Together with the Americans established an alternate aid distribution strategy through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been intended to replace the United Nations-managed aid network since May.

The Israeli authorities justify the introduction of a fresh distribution strategy for alleged theft of aid from the UN strategy by Hamas. However, no evidence in support of these accusations. UN with more than 170 charities and NGOs refuses cooperation with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. It is referred to as inhumane and militarised, and there are besides allegations of violation of the basic principles of humanitarian aid.

New foundation replaced 400 previously operating aid distribution points with 4 locations in militarised and dangerous zones. UN from the start opposed the establishment of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, claiming to militarize aid, bypass the existing UN distribution network and force the people of Gaza to travel far and dangerously to get food.

Israel’s Forces opened Fire at aid distribution points, killing and wounding civilians waiting for food. August 3, during 1 specified incident, at least 23 Palestinians were killed. By witnesses soldiers shot hungry crowds approaching distribution points.

The consequence of the global community

Israel saysthat he is not liable for the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, which, in turn, is not accepted by both his allies and global organisations. In consequence to global criticism and announcements of any countries about plans recognition Palestinian states, Israel has announced in fresh days efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. 27 July announced introduction of ‘humane’ pauses” in the 3 densely populated areas of Gaza to facilitate the transportation of aid.

Among another measures announced Israel has besides included the resumption of air relief discharges, the launch of a water desalination facility and the designation of humanitarian corridors to facilitate the transportation of UN assistance in Gaza.

Advertising in the United Nations

W description to the place on the Israeli embassy channel in Poland, you can read that “against Hamas propaganda, there is no hunger in Gaza”. At the same time, the UN and global organisations are by Israel liable for providing humanitarian aid and should "increase the effectiveness" of its actions. Israel does not mention that he himself has been blocking the provision of aid to Gaza for months.

By The global wellness organisation's malnutrition rates in the Gaza Strip are reaching alarming levels. Out of the 74 deaths related to malnutrition in 2025 as many as 63 occurred in July. Almost 1 in 5 children under the age of 5 is presently affected acute malnutrition.

No. No. Only hunger kills people, but besides a desperate search for food. Families hazard their lives to get even a small food, frequently in dangerous and chaotic conditions. As of May 27, more than 1060 people were killed while trying to get food and 7,200 were injured.

Since May, erstwhile the Humanitarian Foundation of Gaza, Israel began its activities Let up to Gaza 4,500 trucks with UN assistance – on average 70 per day.

UN position

We contacted you about Israeli ads from Centre UN Information in Warsaw. In consequence we were redirected to the latest posts UN presented on 31 July by Farhan Haqqani, Deputy Advocate General António Guterres.

The war continues, including many raids on residential buildings, resulting in the deaths of full families according to reports. In fresh days, there have besides been a large number of fatalities and injuries among those trying to get food and another essential articles for their families.

Meanwhile, in the face of a increasing famine, the UN and our partners are constantly taking advantage of all chance to gather supplies from Israel-controlled passages and supplement these supply points with fresh external supplies. Our teams do these kinds of missions all day.

By The UN, despite Israel's assurances of safe convoy routes, continues to experience long delays and threats, as only 1 way with a temporary checkpoint of Israeli land forces is available for teams departing from Ker Shalom to the Gaza Strip. Aid itself frequently reaches people along the way without reaching precedence distribution points. Coordination of humanitarian actions with Israeli authorities remains 1 of the main challenges.

Israeli Disinformation Campaigns

Advertising films accusing the United Nations of sabotaging humanitarian aid to Gaza are only 1 example of the run Israel has been conducting towards the UN since the beginning of the war. another of the duplicated narrative was the 1 where Hamas steals humanitarian aid from the UN and uses it for his own purposes, which was allegedly to justify limiting support.

Israel was besides in the US and Europe, a run utilizing the Google Advertising Mechanism, which was aimed at the United Nations Agency for the Relief of Palestinian Refugees in the mediate East (UNRWA). erstwhile searching for the slogans "UNRWA" and "UNRWA USA" at the top of the list, a link akin to the agency's advertising was displayed.

The European External Action Service, which is an EU diplomatic service, shall monitor and paper this run within the framework of the mandate ‘to combat and exposure misinformation in the countries neighbouring the Union’ set out in the EU Plan Actions against Disinformation of 2018.

By report 1 Israeli ministry provided local media and government representatives with material containing private data from Dutch citizens. This was to influence the Dutch media communicative and discredit those criticizing Israel's politics. The action was a consequence of the Amsterdam riot of 2024 related to the Maccabi Tel Aviv match and was classified as part of a wider disinformation strategy. W report attention was besides paid to the worrying force on the part of Israel and the US to the global Criminal Court of the Hague.

In November 2024, the global Criminal Court in The Hague released warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and erstwhile defence minister Joaw Galant for war crimes and against humanity in the Gaza Strip, including the starvation of civilians. ICC decisions met with criticism Israel, while supporting the US to argue the jurisdiction of the Court. In April 2025, ICC Appellate Chamber repealed orders in the absence of full consideration of Israel's objections to that jurisdiction. The decision means that the case of Israeli leaders has been ‘freed’ pending further hearings of the parties before the Court.
