UN says limited aid reached Gaza from Kerem Shalom; warns of famine risk
Summary
The United Nations reported that roughly 90 loaded trucks left Kerem Shalom carrying nutrition, flour and medical supplies but said deliveries remain far short of needs for Gaza's population and that fuel and many essential items have been blocked for about 80 days.
The United Nations said humanitarian convoys departed Kerem Shalom on a recent day, carrying nutrition products, flour and medical supplies, but warned that the shipments are “nowhere near sufficient” to meet the needs of Gaza’s population.

The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told the briefing that about 90 loaded trucks left Kerem Shalom for multiple destinations inside Gaza, carrying nutrition supplies, flour, medicines and other stocks that were allowed through. OCHA said the shipment was limited in quantity.
