Why is Israel blaming the UN for Gaza aid problems?

Asked 14 hours ago

Answer

Israel blames the UN for Gaza aid problems by accusing it of failing to distribute aid, refusing to pick up supplies at crossings, and alleging bias. Israel has canceled UN staff visas and claims the UN is not doing enough, while the UN and aid agencies say Israeli-imposed restrictions, dangerous conditions, and denied permits are the main obstacles to effective aid delivery.
