The Israeli authorities have denied blocking UNRWA, but Israel and the aid agency have been locked in a dispute over not only responsibility for the crisis, but also the status of UNRWA itself. UNRWA suspended the staff members and opened an investigation, but some of its biggest donors have since suspended funding. U.N. officials and international aid groups have reported severe and deadly malnutrition in Gaza and have blamed Israel, which inspects every truckload aid. In some cases, crowds of people have swarmed the trucks, stripping them of supplies. The World Food Program said that only 11 of its convoys carrying food had reached the north since the start of the year.

REUTERS/Mohammed Salem/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 22 (Reuters) - The Gaza Strip is the "most dangerous place in the world to be a child," the head of the United Nations children's agency UNICEF said on Wednesday. Israel has focused its retaliation against Hamas in Gaza, a territory of 2.3 million people. "The Gaza Strip is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child," Russell said. "In Gaza, the effects of the violence perpetrated on children have been catastrophic, indiscriminate and disproportionate." Ambassador Gilad Erdan accused Hamas of exploiting children in Gaza for years and repeated long-held criticisms that the United Nations is biased against Israel.

The world population was due to hit 8 billion for the first time on November 15, 2022. That's in spite of the global population growing more slowly in recent years. That means a billion people have been added to the world population in the past 12 years, CNN reported. The world's population is due to grow further: hitting 9 billion around 2037 and 10 billion around 2058, the UN predicted in a statement. The new milestone happened in spite of global population growth slowing down overall, to under 1% a year, per CNN.
