Occupied Palestinian Territory: Aid restrictions in Gaza, ‘senseless’ infant deaths in the West Bank

The UN reported ongoing challenges in delivering aid to Gaza due to restricted crossings and reduced supply volumes. According to data from the UN 2720 Mechanism, aid deliveries dropped to less than 42,000 pallets in June compared to around 46,600 in May. The mechanism, authorized under Security Council Resolution 2720 (2023), aims to streamline aid distribution through routes like the Jordan Corridor and Ashdod port. Despite approvals, only 42% of Egyptian supplies and 65% of Ashdod port shipments were offloaded at Kerem Shalom. Meanwhile, UNICEF highlighted the severe impact of the conflict on children, noting over 60,000 children killed or injured since the start of the war, with an average of one child dying daily. In the West Bank, Israeli forces reportedly shot and killed a 16-year-old and injured two others during a confrontation at Qalandiya camp. The UN called for accountability and protection of Palestinians.
