The United Nations has strongly criticized Israel over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling Israeli claims of sufficient food supplies 'ridiculous.' All 25 bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have shut down due to a lack of supplies, as Israel continues to block imports into the territory. The UN also accused Israeli forces of killing 15 rescue workers who were trying to help injured civilians, with some reportedly buried in a mass grave. Israel responded by claiming that nine of the deceased were militants. The situation highlights growing international concern over the humanitarian impact of Israel's military actions and blockade in Gaza.
