The United Nations has warned that Israel continues to block humanitarian aid from reaching the Gaza Strip, despite harsh winter conditions, highlighting the growing risk of newborns freezing due to the cold.
The warning came from Farhan Haq, deputy spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, during his daily press briefing on Monday.
Haq explained that the UN and its partners are working to deliver aid to the “most vulnerable” Palestinian families in Gaza.
He said that staff from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warn that “needs continue to outpace the ability of humanitarians to respond, given the ongoing impediments they face.”
Haq added:” Rainstorms and colder temperatures are also exacerbating the situation across the Strip.”
He also noted an increased risk of hypothermia among newborns and confirmed that special aid kits are being distributed to protect against freezing.

EU Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management Hadja Lahbib on Monday reiterated the necessity of rapid humanitarian aid delivery to the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reported.
“We need humanitarian aid to flood Gaza, not enter drop by drop, because the needs are immense and winter is coming,” Lahbib told reporters ahead of the EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels.
Lahbib recounted her visit to the Rafah crossing two weeks ago, noting that she was denied entry into Gaza despite the fact that hundreds of trucks loaded with essential supplies were waiting.
“The humanitarian workers I met there were frustrated and exhausted by the situation,” she said, calling it “a lot of administrative burden.”
Although a ceasefire took effect 10 October , living conditions in Gaza have not improved, as Israel continues to impose strict restrictions on the entry of aid trucks, violating the humanitarian protocol of the agreement.
Israel has killed nearly 70,700 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,100 others in attacks in Gaza since Oct. 2023, which have continued despite the truce.

Rabbi Eli Schlinger [Eli Schlanger (C).[Facebook/elischlange]
Rabbi Eli Schlinger, who was killed in an armed attack in Sydney on Sunday, had previously visited Israel and met with Israeli soldiers, encouraging them to continue the war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, an Israeli television channel and an Israeli activist have revealed.
Schlinger was among 12 people killed and at least 29 others wounded during an armed attack that took place during Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi Beach in Sydney, according to Australian authorities. The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation(Kan) confirmed that Schlinger was an emissary of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Australia.
Israeli activist and journalist Hanoch Daom wrote on Instagram that Schlinger travelled to Israel following 7 October 2023, where he met with Israeli soldiers to offer what Daom described as “support and encouragement” during the ongoing military campaign in Gaza.
Israel’s Channel 12 later broadcast an image showing Schlinger sitting among Israeli soldiers atop a military vehicle. The broadcaster did not clarify where or when the photograph was taken, nor whether it was inside the Gaza Strip.
Schlinger’s social media accounts show that he used the image of himself with Israeli soldiers as his profile picture on both Facebook and Instagram, openly expressing support for the Israeli army.
The Chabad-Lubavitch movement has long rejected Palestinian national rights and opposes any political settlement that would grant Palestinians sovereignty over occupied territory.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has, for more than two years, resulted in the killing of over 70,000 Palestinians and the wounding of more than 171,000 others, most of them women and children, according to Palestinian health authorities and international organisations. The campaign has triggered widespread international condemnation and deepened Israel’s global isolation.

Donald Fuhrump says that Amerikkka doesn’t bother with crimes or charges anymore, not being 100% Amerikkkan and opposing his real estate intentions is enough.
I’m rushing this out because I’ve been experiencing hardware problems, very likely to be changed and elaborated.
Donald Trump’s National Security Strategy shows that he intends to extend US influence globally. The problem is that he and by extension his administration is complicit in Israel’s genocide, is racist, imperialist, disregards and has a disdain for human rights, democracy and the rule of law and not only denies the climate crisis but actively pursues and promotes climate destruction. He aggressively pursues and is inseparable from the super rich responsible for destroying the planet. Trump should be recognised as a stupid Neo-Fascist little Hitler and opposed by all. Trump & Co are similar to what our ancestors fought during the Spanish Civil War and World War 2. We should stand up and oppose this Fascism as our ancestors did.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.
It is not only Donald Trump and the United States. In the UK, we have Keir Starmer’s Labour government supporting and complicit in Israel’s Gaza genocide and pursuing authoritarian policies and actions against those who oppose them according to democratic norms and conventions. Palestine Action protesters are criminalised as terrorists and legal procedures are manipulated to keep them imprisoned without trial or due process. £15 million damage, we recognise that as total BS from Stamer’s Zionist government.
Swiss singer Nemo, winner of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, is returning trophy in protest at Israel’s inclusion in next year’s competition, deepening the controversy surrounding the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) refusal to suspend the Apartheid State over its genocide in Gaza
Swiss singer Nemo, winner of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, is returning trophy in protest at Israel’s inclusion in next year’s competition, deepening the controversy surrounding the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) refusal to suspend the Apartheid State over its genocide in Gaza.
In a powerful statement shared on Instagram, Nemo said there was a “clear conflict” between Eurovision’s stated ideals of unity, inclusion and dignity for all, and its decision to allow a state accused of committing atrocities to take part.
“This is not about individuals or artists,” Nemo wrote. “The contest was repeatedly used to soften the image of a state accused of severe wrongdoing, all while the EBU insisted Eurovision is ‘non-political’. When entire countries withdraw over this contradiction, it should be clear that something is deeply wrong.”
The 26-year-old artist added that they no longer felt the trophy belonged on the shelf, and would send it back to the EBU’s headquarters in Geneva.
Nemo’s protest comes amid growing backlash over Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2026, due to be held in six months. Iceland’s national broadcaster, RÚV, became the latest to join the boycott, following decisions by Spain, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia to withdraw.
Critics have condemned the EBU’s insistence that the contest is “non-political,” accusing the organisation of hypocrisy for allowing Israel to remain while Palestinian civilians endure mass displacement, starvation, and military bombardment. The Union also banned Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
“We’re saddened that Nemo wishes to return their trophy which they deservedly won in 2024. We respect the deeply held views Nemo has expressed and they will always remain a valued part of the Eurovision family.”
Israel’s public broadcaster Kan welcomed the EBU’s decision to retain Israel in the contest, while Israeli President Isaac Herzog insisted that Israel “deserves to be represented on every stage around the world.”
However, backlash continues to mount across Europe. In the UK, the BBC has yet to confirm its participation, saying only that it supports decisions made at the EBU summit.
As of now, 34 countries are still expected to take part, but that number may change, with some nations yet to confirm their participation.
