The UN warned on Wednesday that supplies of aid are at risk of running out in Gaza as Israel blocks deliveries to put pressure on Hamas. Israel halted aid shipments 12 days ago and has disconnected the only power line to a water desalination plant in the Palestinian enclave as part of its efforts to push Hamas into agreeing to its terms in truce talks. After a ceasefire went into effect on January 19, the UN made progress with bringing food and medicine into Gaza and getting its damaged hospitals up and running, said Tom Fletcher, head of the UN humanitarian affairs bureau.
