NEW YORK — The United Nations is still struggling to prevent famine in the Gaza Strip and while there had been some improvement in coordination with Israel , aid deliveries in the enclave still faced difficulties, a senior UN aid official said on Tuesday .Displaced Palestinians, who fled their houses due to Israel i strikes, shelter in a tent camp, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip on March 11, 2024.

"We're dealing with this dance where we do one step forward, two steps backward, or two steps forward, one step backward, which leaves us basically always at the same point," Mr De Domenico told reporters. Israel has since approved reopening the Erez crossing into northern Gaza and temporary use of Ashdod port in southern Israel after US President Joe Biden demanded steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying conditions could be placed on US support for Israel if it did not act.
