UN says no aid yet distributed in Gaza due to insecure access
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -No humanitarian aid has yet been distributed in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations said on Wednesday, two days after Israel lifted an 11-week blockade and began allowing limited deliveries into the enclave through the Kerem Shalom crossing.
"So far ... none of the supplies have been able to leave the Kerem Shalom loading area," said U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, adding that it was because Israeli authorities had only allowed access within Gaza "that we felt was insecure" and where looting was likely due to the prolonged deprivation.

So it was the UN decision to withhold the food all along. I am not holding my breath waiting for all the performative outrage to be redirected towards the REAL culprits.
There will be silence, as usual.
