A U.S.-backed organization aims to start work in the Gaza Strip by the end of May, overseeing a new model of aid distribution in the Palestinian enclave, but the United Nations says the plan is not impartial or neutral,

After Israel eased its 11-week aid block this week, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says Gaza's entire population is at risk of famine.

The UN resumed aid deliveries to Gaza this week, after Israel ordered a temporary pause in the total blockade on food, water and medical supplies that had lasted 80 days. But US-Israeli plans are already underway to sideline the UN's entire relief operation in the territory.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza (AP) — Israeli strikes continued to pound the Gaza Strip Wednesday, despite a surge in international anger at Israel’s widening offensive. The attacks killed at least 82 people, including several women and a week-old infant, according to the Gaza Health Ministry and area hospitals.

Gaza children face dire starvation risk, but a UN leader got the timeline wrong when he said 14,000 babies would die in “the next 48 hours.” The report he referenced projected such severe child malnutrition in the region over 11 months.
