“Israel continues to block aid deliveries to Gaza since March 2025”

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said Thursday that Israel has continued to block its humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip since March 2025, leaving critical supplies stranded in neighboring countries.

The UNRWA said its humanitarian shipments, including food, hygiene kits, medicines and shelter items, remain stored in warehouses in Egypt and Jordan and have not been allowed into Gaza for months.

“UNRWA’s humanitarian supplies — food, hygiene kits, medicines and shelter items — remain stuck in warehouses in Egypt and Jordan, banned from entering Gaza since March 2025,” the agency said on the US social media platform X.

“Life-saving aid is ready to move. There is no time to lose,” it added.

The refugee agency said its teams have continued providing essential services on the ground and called for permission to scale up aid deliveries.
