Gaza: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has stated that crucial food supplies for the Gaza Strip are being denied access owing to a lack of Israeli consent.
According to Xinhua, UNRWA stated in a press statement on Monday that crucial supplies to address food insecurity continue to be stopped owing to a "lack of Israeli authorities' approvals" to carry flour from the Israeli port of Ashdod to the Gaza Strip.
The statement added that the Kerem Shalom Crossing in southern Gaza has remained closed since February 7 due to Israeli demonstrators.
Meanwhile, the Hamas government media office reported that some Palestinian families in the Strip are receiving only half a meal within 48 hours.
The office blamed Israel for the blockade of the Strip and preventing aid from reaching its destination, calling for an end to Israeli attacks on civilians and an end to the war.
