The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, has stopped aid deliveries through the main Karem Abu Salem crossing into Gaza due to security concerns, including theft by armed gangs.
“We are pausing the delivery of aid through Kerem Shalom, the main crossing point for humanitarian aid into Gaza,” Unrwa head Philippe Lazzarini said, using the Israeli name for the crossing. “The road out of this crossing has not been safe for months. On 16 November, a large convoy of aid trucks was stolen by armed gangs.”
