UN: Israel continues to obstruct distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza
Ammon News - The United Nations said that the Israeli occupation authorities continue to obstruct the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, noting that aid has not entered the Strip for nearly two months.
Stephanie Tremblay, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, explained in a press conference that humanitarian aid has not entered Gaza for nearly two months, stressing the need to continue providing aid without interruption.
She noted that humanitarian workers continue to face difficulties in carrying out their duties, and that the occupation authorities only allowed the passage of two of the six humanitarian aid operations planned for yesterday.
The restrictions imposed by the occupation on humanitarian access hinder the ability to supply hospitals with medical supplies, endangering the health of more patients, according to the United Nations.
Since March 2, the occupation has prevented the entry of essential supplies, including food and water, into the Gaza Strip after closing the crossings, causing a humanitarian disaster and exacerbating famine. WAFA

In a fresh attack on Gaza's collapsing healthcare system, 'Israeli' drones bombed the roof of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza on Wednesday, causing significant structural damage, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza. This marks the 11th strike on the same hospital since the beginning of the war, highlighting what officials call a systematic campaign to destroy the strip's medical infrastructure. No casualties were immediately reported. In a statement, the office described the attack as a blatant violation of international law, particularly the Geneva Conventions, which mandate protection of medical facilities and personnel during armed conflict. Three drones were reportedly used in the latest strike, triggering panic among patients and medical staff. Previous attacks on the hospital occurred at various points from January 2024 to April 2025. The media office held Israeli Occupation, along with the United States and other supporting countries, fully responsible for what it called war crimes and acts of genocide. It urged the UN and international human rights organizations to act swiftly to protect Gaza's remaining hospitals and humanitarian workers.
