A U.S.-backed organization aims to start work in the Gaza Strip by the end of May, overseeing a new model of aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave, but the United Nations says the plan is not impartial or neutral,

After weeks of delays in allowing aid into the Gaza Strip, trucks finally crossed the border late Wednesday night. Desperate and hungry, civilians rushed a truck in Khan Younis on its way to a bakery with flour and looted the bags on its flatbed.

Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed dozens of Palestinians since dawn, medical sources said, as limited supplies of humanitarian aid trickled into the Palestinian territory after Israel eased its total blockade.

The U.N. is still trying to get the desperately needed aid that has entered Gaza this week into the hands of Palestinians amid delays because of fears of looting and Israeli military restrictions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in early March 2025 that Israel would "stop letting goods and supplies into Gaza."

Aid groups have collected humanitarian aid carried by about 90 trucks, out of a total of nearly 200 that have entered Gaza since Israel began allowing limited goods in earlier this week, the United Nations said Thursday.
