UN Suspends Food Aid in Gaza After Shooting
News summary

The UN Security Council is set to meet regarding the worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza, following a request from Britain and Switzerland. The situation has escalated as the UN World Food Programme (WFP) temporarily suspended staff movement in Gaza after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire from Israeli forces while approaching a checkpoint, despite having secured multiple clearances. This incident highlights the failure of existing coordination systems with Israeli authorities, as no staff were harmed but the vehicle was struck multiple times. Concurrently, there is an urgent need for a vaccination campaign against polio in Gaza, following the reported paralysis of a baby due to the virus. The humanitarian crisis has been exacerbated by ongoing airstrikes and mass evacuations, limiting aid access and resources. Israel's military has acknowledged failures in security responses, particularly amid increasing violence from settler attacks in the West Bank.
