Israel has continued to obstruct the humanitarian work of the United Nations in the Gaza Strip, said the spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations Stephane Dujarric on Wednesday.
The spokesman said that the United Nations and its partners continue to send supplies to the Kerem Shalom crossing, where Israeli authorities scanned them before they can enter Gaza.
"For today, we submitted over 130 pre-clear truckloads for a second and final Israeli clearance, but only 50 of them, which were carrying flour, were approved to enter the Israeli side of the Kerem Shalom crossing," said Dujarric.
Since the Kerem Shalom crossing reopened nearly a month ago, the United Nations has seen fewer than 400 truckloads of aid entering Gaza.
On Tuesday alone, six out of 13 UN aid shipment requests were denied, including the urgently-needed fuel.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that without immediate access to fuel, UN's essential services in Gaza could be forced to shut down.

China's movie industry is increasingly deriving its earnings from broader consumer economy.
Released during the 2025 summer season, the film "Nobody" became China's highest-grossing two-dimensional animated film -- and its success went beyond theaters.
Through licensing and brand partnerships, the movie has generated 2.5 billion yuan (about 358.3 million U.S. dollars) in retail sales to consumers, with more than 800 licensed products on the market.
Ranging from plush toys to food and home goods, the movie-related merchandise can be purchased from over 3,000 online and offline outlets.
Meanwhile, souvenir stores are crowded at Shanghai Disneyland's Zootopia themed land, with hats, plush toys, and collectibles seeing steady demand from visitors.
"China's film industry is no longer defined by box office revenue alone. It has become a new growth engine that links and energizes multiple cultural sectors. At the heart of every successful film is strong storytelling. High-quality productions create cultural value, which in turn enhances the commercial value of intellectual property and opens up new consumption opportunities. I believe China's film industry delivered an outstanding performance in the past year," said Chen Xiaoda, vice dean of Shanghai Vancouver Film School.
