Israel breaching international law by limiting Gaza aid, says Unrwa official

The Guardian•Saturday, November 15, 2025 at 12:00:09 PM

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is exacerbated by Israel's ongoing restrictions on aid, as highlighted by UNRWA's Natalie Boucly. Reports indicate that only about half of the necessary supplies are reaching the region, leaving many without adequate food and life-saving goods. This situation is further complicated by recent developments, such as the return of 15 Palestinian bodies by Israel, which reflects the fragile nature of the US-brokered ceasefire. Advocacy for accountability and a reckoning regarding the actions taken in Gaza is increasingly urgent, as discussions around the use of human shields during military operations raise serious ethical concerns.
