New York, 8 April 2025 [as delivered] More than an entire month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza. No food.  No fuel.  No medicine.  No commercial supplies.  As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have re-opened. Gaza is a killing field – and civilians are in an endless death loop. Certain truths are clear since the atrocious October 7 terror attacks by Hamas. Above all, we know ceasefires work. 

Statement by heads of OCHA, UNICEF, UNOPS, UNRWA, WFP, WHO and IOM For over a month, no commercial or humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza.  More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck.  Over 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured in just the first week after the breakdown of the ceasefire, the highest one-week death toll among children in Gaza in the past year.
