Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ruled out Wednesday the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, following the U.N. warning about the alarming situation in the Palestinian territory.

"No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza," said Israel Katz in a statement, two days after the announcement from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) indicating that the Palestinian territory was experiencing "probably the worst" humanitarian situation since the beginning of the war on Oct. 7, 2023.
