UN Aid in Gaza Suspended Amid New Evacuation Orders
The UN halts humanitarian aid operations in Gaza following new Israeli evacuation orders, raising concerns over the safety of civilians and staff.
The United Nations has temporarily suspended its humanitarian aid operations in Gaza following new evacuation orders from Israel targeting Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip. The pause in operations comes as the UN struggles to balance the safety of its personnel with the dire needs of the civilian population.
A senior UN official, speaking anonymously to Reuters, confirmed that the situation on the ground has made it impossible to deliver aid effectively. The official noted that the UN had recently relocated its main command operations and personnel to Deir el-Balah after the evacuation of Rafah, but now faces uncertainty about where to move next. Despite these challenges, the UN remains committed to staying in Gaza to support those in need.
