Aid officials say the new system also simply won’t provide enough aid. Relief groups have operated hundreds of distribution points around Gaza distributing food, water, shelter supplies and other goods, even as they support medical centers, run shelters and implement other programs.The operation has been led by UNRWA, the main U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. Israel banned the agency last year, alleging its staff have been infiltrated by Hamas. UNRWA, which employs more than 10,000 people in Gaza, said that it acts quickly to remove anyone suspected of militant ties, and that Israel hasn’t given it evidence of its claims.UNRWA spokesperson Juliette Touma said the agency has “the largest reach” and ”it is very, very difficult to imagine any humanitarian operation without UNRWA.”

Ruth James, Oxfam regional humanitarian coordinator, said large networks are needed to get aid to everyone. “That takes time and expertise,” she said. “Any new system that comes in this quickly and without humanitarian expertise and trust from communities will not be able to do that.”Huckabee called on U.N. agencies and aid groups to join the new mechanism.

Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the U.N. humanitarian office, said Friday that U.N. concerns have not been addressed in multiple meetings with Israeli officials. He dismissed claims that theft of aid was significant in scale.

in the redo. Simion then surged to frontrunner in the May 4 rerun after becoming the standard-bearer for the hard right.Years of endemic corruption and growing anger toward Romania’s

has fueled a surge in support for nationalist figures, reflecting a broader pattern seen across Europe.The AUR party says it stand for “family, nation, faith, and freedom” and rose to prominence in a 2020 parliamentary election. It has since grown to become the second-largest party in the Romanian legislature.
