Hey friends! Did you hear what’s happening in Gaza? The United Nations (UN), which is a group that helps countries work together, has decided to stop sending aid trucks through a place called the Kerem Shalom crossing. But why? π€
Well, it’s because it’s not safe right now. The chief of the UN agency that helps Palestinian refugees, Mr. Philippe Lazzarini, said that roads out of this crossing have been dangerous for months. On November 16, a big group of trucks bringing food and supplies was taken by armed groups. That’s really worrying! π
Just yesterday, they tried to send some more food trucks, but they were all taken too! Because of this, the UN wants to make sure everyone stays safe, so they’re pausing the aid deliveries until it’s safe again. Safety first! π
This is important because many people in Gaza depend on these supplies for food and other needs. Let’s hope things get better soon so the aid can reach those who need it. π€
