Hundreds Of Aid Trucks Rot In Gaza As UN Stalls Distribution

Nearly 950 aid trucks carrying food and essential supplies are reportedly sitting idle in Gaza, with their contents rotting due to the United Nations’ refusal to distribute them, according to multiple reports. Israel has already inspected and approved the shipments, but UN agencies, accused of working in tandem with Hamas, have allegedly stalled the distribution process.

“The Humanitarian Relief Fund (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) today offered the UN to distribute the aid free of charge instead and the UN refused,” Tamir Morag of Israel’s Channel 14 reported. “The UN, in collaboration with Hamas, is starving the population of the Gaza Strip while simultaneously pumping up the false campaign of ‘hunger in the Gaza Strip.’”

Morag also noted that the UN and Hamas appear to have a shared goal of blocking independent aid groups like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “Almost all of it will end up in the hands of Hamas instead of the Gaza population,” he added.

Key facts about the stalled aid crisis:

• Approximately 950 trucks of food and supplies have been approved by Israel but remain undelivered inside Gaza.

• GHF has accused the UN of deliberately delaying aid distribution to maintain control over supply routes.

• Israel has significantly increased aid allowances, permitting up to 200 trucks per day since late November 2023 and lifting daily limits entirely by mid-November.

Fox News’ chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst corroborated the report of aid trucks languishing at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Chapin Fay, a GHF spokesman on the ground, described “tons of aid from UN organizations sitting on the ground undelivered… desperately needed flour rotting on the side of the road; rice from Jordan baking for over 90 days; expired medical supplies.”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry recently released footage showing Hamas terrorists hoarding and feasting on food in their underground tunnels while ordinary Gazans suffer. This, combined with repeated evidence of Hamas seizing humanitarian supplies, has fueled growing outrage over the UN’s role in the crisis.

Critics argue that claims of Israel blocking sufficient aid are overstated. Andrew Fox of the Henry Jackson Society debunked the widely cited “500 trucks per day” figure, noting that pre-war averages were closer to 300 trucks daily, only about 75 of which carried food. He also pointed out that during a temporary ceasefire from January 18 to March 2, 2025, Gaza received 25,200 aid trucks carrying 447,538 tonnes of supplies, 78% of which was food.

Meanwhile, Hamas openly refuses to take responsibility for Gaza’s civilians. Senior Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk has said, “We are not responsible for Gaza’s civilians. Israel and the UN are responsible.”

The reality on the ground suggests a man-made crisis where Hamas’ exploitation of humanitarian aid, combined with UN inefficiency, is leaving civilians in Gaza to starve while food rots just feet away.
