Unrwa chief says Israel spread false aid theft claims to control relief
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) has accused Israel of fabricating claims that Hamas was stealing large amounts of aid, saying the allegations were designed to push out humanitarian groups and tighten Israeli control over food distribution in Gaza. 'No proof of aid diversion in Gaza,' Unrwa Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wrote on social media. He said the accusations were part of a deliberate effort to damage the reputation of international relief agencies. 'Claims were only aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the humanitarian community & attempting to replace it with a diabolic and politically motivated distribution scheme,' he added. 'It's time for principled and at scale humanitarian response including through Unrwa.'

US envoy blames UN, media and Hamas for Gaza chaos and failed truce
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has accused the United Nations, The New York Times, and Hamas of spreading 'lies and propaganda' to undermine aid operations and destabilise Gaza. Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel and an evangelical preacher, made the remarks in response to footage showing desperate Palestinians climbing onto an aid truck. 'Is the UN, NY Times, and Hamas all happy now?' he asked in a social media post. 'I'm sure Hamas is. Their lies and propaganda destroyed the ceasefire deal, tried to discredit safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas and will result in this complete balagan [chaos]! Most sad for hostage families—grief prolonged.' His comments come as international experts continue to blame Israel's near-total blockade of food and supplies for the collapse of civil order and widespread hunger in Gaza.

Aid to Gaza gives us legitimacy to keep fighting, says Israeli army
The Israeli army has denied that famine is gripping the Gaza Strip, despite widespread reports of severe malnutrition, starvation deaths and aid restrictions. 'There is no hunger in the Strip,' an Israeli army spokesperson declared on Sunday. Speaking at a press briefing, the spokesperson claimed Israeli forces are facilitating humanitarian assistance: 'We are working to bring aid into Gaza and ensure it reaches the people, not Hamas.' The UN, the US and Iraeli army officers speaking anonymously to the New York Times have said that Hamas does not have access to the aid. The official also defended the continuation of the war, saying: 'I am not comfortable with bringing aid into Gaza, but that gives us legitimacy to continue the war.' Israel has faced growing international criticism for obstructing the flow of food and medicine into Gaza, particularly into the north, where aid groups say famine conditions have been present for months.
