The UN agency for Palestine refugees decided on Sunday to pause aid delivery through the Kerem Shalom crossing, a main entry point for humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, citing ongoing safety concerns along the route.
On Nov. 16, a large convoy of aid trucks was stolen by armed gangs, and on Saturday, a few food trucks were also taken, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said on social media platform X reported Xinhua.
"The responsibility to protect aid workers and supplies lies with the State of Israel as the occupying power. They must ensure aid flows into Gaza safely," it added.
