The United Nations has said that no humanitarian aid has yet been distributed in the Gaza Strip two days after Israel lifted an 11-week blockade and began allowing limited deliveries into the enclave through the Kerem Shalom crossing, Reuters reports.
“So far … none of the supplies have been able to leave the Kerem Shalom loading area,” said UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, adding that it was because Israeli authorities had only allowed access within Gaza “we felt was insecure” and where looting was likely due to the prolonged deprivation.
