UNITED NATIONS, March 12 (Reuters) - The United Nations used a new land route on Tuesday to deliver food to northern Gaza for the first time in three weeks as global pressure grows on Israel to allow more access to the coastal enclave amid a looming famine.

Jamie McGoldrick, U.N. aid coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, told Reuters that a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy had used an Israeli military road that runs alongside the Gaza border fence to reach the enclave's north.

Enough food for 25,000 people was delivered to Gaza City in the early hours of Tuesday, said WFP spokesperson Shaza Moghraby. It was WFP's first delivery to the north since Feb. 20 and "proves that moving food by road is possible."

"We are hoping to scale up, we need access to be regular and consistent especially with people in northern Gaza on the brink of famine," said Moghraby. "We need entry points directly to the north."

1. Bibi doesn't want that, all he wants is to kill each and every Palestinians.

Of course, he also intends to keep robbing Israelis too.

2. Then why did the IDF allow the UN to use this route?

I'm hoping this helps.

3. IDF isn't Bibi.

They are almost as bad, but not quite.

4. Non-responsive to my question.

"...all he wants is to kill each and every Palestinians".

Netanyahu and his Govt permitted the IDF to allow use of the crossing at Beeri, per US request:

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday that the United States was working with Israel to increase the amount of aid "by ground both through Kerem Shalom and through a new crossing, where we had the first trucks get in last night and we need to see more where that came from."

They're also allowing the US to build a new "floating" port.

So, he must want to kill the 2,270,000 million remaining people in Gaza after letting the US/UN deliver aid.
