Media release: Embassy of Israel in NZ…
We would like to draw your attention to two important updates regarding the recent obstruction of humanitarian aid by Hamas terrorists in Gaza:
UNICEF Statement (19 September 2025): UNICEF confirmed that armed individuals stole therapeutic food (RUTF) intended for at least 2,700 severely malnourished children in Gaza.
Read the full UNICEF statement HERE.
COGAT Update: Hamas terrorists carried out this theft at gunpoint outside the UNICEF compound, stealing baby formula meant for free distribution.
See the COGAT update HERE.
This incident once again demonstrates that while Israel enables the entry of unlimited food supplies into Gaza, Hamas actively prevents this humanitarian aid from reaching the Palestinian civilians it is intended for.
