The United Nations says it’s prepared to increase aid deliveries into Gaza whenever possible, as called for in a US plan to end the war in Gaza. Deliveries by UN agencies and its partners have been somewhat limited in recent months.
Trump’s plan says that aid entries will proceed “without interference” by Israel or Hamas “through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent” in addition to other international institutions “not associated in any manner with either party.”
Alessandra Vellucci, a UN Geneva spokesperson, says the world body is in contact “with the various parties about the peace efforts… we welcome all the mediation.”
Jens Laerke, a spokesman for UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, says the UN stands “ready and prepared and capable to increase aid deliveries inside Gaza, whenever the opportunity is such that we are allowed to do so and the… safety and security of doing so is there indeed.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
