Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), claimed that Israel is blocking all aid trucks, except for a "trickle," from entering Gaza, describing it as "the most starving place in the world." The office added that in the past two weeks, approximately 200,000 Palestinians have been newly displaced due to the fighting. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) spokesperson added that "half of the Red Crescent facilities in Gaza have stopped operating due to lack of fuel or medical supplies."
