U.N. Says its Gaza Aid Humanitarian Program in ‘Tatters’ Amid Fighting

The organization is concerned over the IDF's tactics

The United Nations said its humanitarian operation in the densely populated Gaza Strip has largely fallen apart amid the ferocious military campaign being conducted by Israel to destroy the militant Hamas network.

The Israel Defense Forces on Friday reported a new round of battles in the Gaza Strip, concentrated in the south’s largest city, Khan Younis, hitting 450 targets with a combination of ground, naval and air assets. It described close quarters fighting.

Hamas, in turn, said it foiled an attempt by Israeli special forces to rescue a hostage that resulted in the man’s death. The IDF declined to comment on the announcement and The Post could not verify the details of either side’s battlefield updates.
