UN condemns Israel’s ‘weaponisation of food’ in Gaza after more killed while waiting for aid

The United Nations on Tuesday condemned what it said was Israel’s “weaponisation of food” in Gaza and called it a war crime, urging its military to “stop shooting at people trying to get food”. The head of the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees also called a new US- and Israel-backed food-distribution system in the Gaza Strip an “abomination”.
