UNRWA: No aid has entered Gaza since March 2
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said Thursday that no humanitarian aid has entered the Gaza Strip since March 2.
In a series of posts on X, the agency said this is the longest aid cutoff since the war began, three times longer than the blockade imposed in October 2023.

UNRWA also reported that about 69 percent of Gaza is under forced evacuation orders, following at least 20 directives issued by the Israeli military. The UN estimates that around 420,000 people have been newly displaced since Israel resumed its offensive.
In total, the agency said roughly 90 percent of Gaza’s population has been displaced during the war.
