The United Nations is raising alarms over the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where access restrictions and a lack of safe passage are severely hindering relief efforts. On May 15, UNRWA officials highlighted that both humanitarian supplies and personnel are struggling to reach those in need due to these obstacles. The UN's humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has warned of an 'apocalyptic' outcome, with famine being an immediate risk as food stocks dwindle. On May 16, the closure of key land crossings by Israel has exacerbated the crisis, making humanitarian relief distribution 'almost impossible' without regular fuel imports and stable telecommunications. Griffiths reiterated these concerns on May 19.
