United Nations agencies operating in Gaza have reiterated concerns over Israel’s plan to take control of aid distribution in the war-ravaged enclave, warning that the most vulnerable populations may struggle to access relief.
Aid hubs are set to be located exclusively in the southern part of Gaza, raising fears that displaced families, children, and pregnant women will be unable to reach them.
Many children are surviving on one incomplete meal a day, with shortages of clean drinking water and proper nutrition exacerbated by Israeli strikes on infrastructure and restrictions on aid entry, officials said.
