Throughout the seven-month-long conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas in Gaza, the UN has complained about a lack of exposure to humanitarian assistance. Guterres has said the UN is trying to avert” an completely unavoidable, human- made malaria” in northern Gaza.
Israel is retaliating against Hamas following an attack on October 7 that Israel claims killed more than 1,200 individuals and held more than 250 hostages. Since then, according to Gaza health officials, Israel has killed more than 34,600 persons in Gaza.
After Israeli military and settlers withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Hamas gained control of the region, but the UN also considers the area to be Israeli-occupied territory.
The UN human rights main has stated that Israel is required to accomplish the job of charitable organizations trying to deliver help and ensure the delivery of food and medical care to the community.
