World Food Programme says northern Gaza aid convoy blocked

The World Food Programme (WFP) says its first attempt in two weeks to bring food aid to northern Gaza was blocked by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

It comes a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) said children are dying of starvation in northern Gaza.

The agency says the convoy was turned back by the IDF after a three-hour wait at the Wadi Gaza checkpoint.

That’s impossible, the IDF is the most moral army in the world…

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The BBC contacted the IDF for comment, which directed any questions towards Cogat, the Israeli defence ministry body tasked with co-ordinating aid access in Gaza.

On 20 February, the agency said it was suspending food deliveries to the area because its recent convoys had endured “complete chaos and violence due to the collapse of civil order”, including violent looting.

Last Thursday, more than 100 Palestinians were killed as crowds rushed to reach an aid convoy, operated by private contractors, that was being escorted by Israeli forces west of Gaza City.

Carl Skau, the WFP’s deputy executive director, told Turkey’s Anadolu news agency that the danger of such an incident happening was part of the reason the aid deliveries were put on hold two weeks ago.

A sixteenth child died on Sunday at a hospital in the southern city of Rafah, the Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported on Monday.

A senior UN aid official warned last week that at least 576,000 people across the Gaza Strip - one quarter of the population - faced catastrophic levels of food insecurity and one in six children under the age of two in the north were suffering from acute malnutrition.
