UN Declines To Take Part In US-Backed Aid Effort In Gaza
The Straits Times
|May 17, 2025
The United Nations said on May 15 that it will not take part in a US-backed humanitarian operation in Gaza because the effort is not impartial, neutral or independent, while Israel pledged to facilitate it without being involved in aid deliveries.

"This particular distribution plan does not accord with our basic principles, including those of impartiality, neutrality, independence, and we will not be participating in this," deputy UN spokesperson Farhan Haq told reporters on May 15.
The US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) will start work in Gaza by the end of May under a heavily criticised distribution plan, but has asked Israel to let the UN and others resume deliveries now until it is set up.
