Aid Stuck in Gaza, Babies at Risk Daily.

Aid trucks reached Gaza's border one day, But distribution still hasn't been made.

In Gaza, a blockade so long and so grey,
Aid lorries arrived, but what's the play?
93 trucks entered, but no aid did flow,
A bureaucratic dance, with no one to know.
The UN said wait, as hours ticked by slow,
For Israel to grant access, don't you know?
But still the aid sat, in trucks so fine,
No warehouse to store, no supplies to shine.
The UN's Stephane Dujarric spoke with a sigh,
"A drop in the ocean" of what's needed, he'd cry.
600 trucks a day, that's what's required, you see,
To tackle the crisis, and set Gaza free.
The UK and EU, with pressure so strong,
Called on Israel to end the blockade so long.
Sir Keir Starmer said it's "morally unjust",
The situation in Gaza, a crisis to resist.
Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief too,
Said the bloc would review its trade deal, anew.
The aid operation, a complex, twisted game,
Offload and reload, with no one to claim.
Tom Fletcher, the UN's humanitarian chief, did say,
Thousands of babies could die, if aid doesn't come today.
14,000 babies, in mortal danger, he claimed,
Unless Israel lets aid in, the crisis will remain.
But the UNOCHA, with a clarification so fine,
Said the figure's not 14,000, but 14,100 in a year's time.
Severe acute malnutrition, a crisis so real,
But not a 48-hour deadline, as the UN did reveal.
Jens Laerke, the UNOCHA spokesman, did say,
Babies in urgent need, of aid to stay.
Their mothers unable to feed, a desperate plight,
Unless aid arrives soon, they'll face mortal night.
Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, did say,
Aid is flowing in, but not enough, in a major way.
The UK, France, and Canada, with a joint statement so bold,
Called on Israel to stop its military operations, to unfold.
