UNITED NATIONS, July 29 (Xinhua) — There has been only a slight increase in food aid reaching starving Gazans since Israel opened access routes, U.N. Secretary-General's deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said Monday.

“It’s only been one day so far, so we need to see if the situation improves,” he said. “Compared to before, when several dozen trucks entered the sector in these days, there is a slight increase,” he added.

Only about 100 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, he said, about a fifth of what was supposed to be delivered.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that of 17 missions requiring coordination with Israeli authorities on Sunday, only eight had been carried out, including collecting fuel and supplies. Four missions, including food deliveries, were hampered but completed.

“Prolonged restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid have created an unpredictable environment in which people are uncertain whether aid will reach them,” OCHA said.

UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher on Sunday welcomed Israel's easing of restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza, saying it would help ease the immense suffering of the starving population, adding that massive amounts of aid were needed to prevent famine and a catastrophic health crisis.

OCHA said UN agencies and their partners also welcomed the decision.

The World Food Programme said it had enough food in the region or on the way to feed the starving population for about three months, and the UN aid agency for Palestine refugees said 6,000 trucks in Jordan and Egypt were waiting to enter Gaza.

The World Health Organization said July was the worst month for malnutrition-related deaths on record, with more than 85 percent of malnutrition-related deaths recorded in 2025. Nearly one in five children under 5 in Gaza City suffers from acute malnutrition.

OCHA reiterated the need for an immediate, permanent ceasefire to ensure adequate aid and support. “The Israeli authorities must open all border crossings and corridors to ensure the delivery of aid in a fair and dignified manner,” the statement said.

OCHA also said that only small amounts of fuel had entered Gaza in the past week, adding that fuel must be allowed in to continue aid operations, including for trucks to collect and distribute supplies. –0–

Under the strategic guidance of the two leaders, China-Swedish cooperation continues to expand in various fields, with increasingly closer economic and trade ties and broad prospects for future development, said the vice premier.

He Lifeng said China is willing to work with Sweden to strengthen communication and deepen cooperation on the basis of mutual respect, mutual trust, equality and mutual benefit. The two sides should jointly uphold multilateralism and free trade, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of bilateral relations, he added.

U. Kristersson noted that Sweden attaches great importance to developing cooperation with China and firmly supports free trade and economic globalization.

UNITED NATIONS, July 28 (Xinhua) — The UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen said on Monday that the interim authorities in Syria must act in a professional and disciplined manner.

“A sovereign Syria must ultimately have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force and operate within the rule of law,” he told the UN Security Council.

Mr. Pedersen expressed concern about credible reports of widespread violations in As-Suwayda, including summary executions and arbitrary killings, kidnappings, destruction of private property and looting of homes. He noted that the alleged perpetrators included members of the Syrian security forces and individuals associated with the interim authorities.

“Religious incitement and offensive behaviour, particularly during security operations, are simply unforgivable. The state has a responsibility to act professionally and with discipline, even when under attack. It must take control of its forces and ensure clear accountability – the key to rebuilding trust, strengthening security and promoting unity,” he said.

Syrians must feel that the state and its forces exist only to protect them, according to the stated policy of the interim president, Pedersen said, adding that “the gap between this policy and the reality on the ground must be closed.”

Loyalty to the state “must be earned through a genuine process that builds a representative state, protects the rights of all and accepts all sections of society as equals,” he added.

Speaking about the inclusiveness of the political transition, Pedersen said that “many Syrians express concerns about the centralization of power, limited transparency, weak checks and balances, and insufficient means for genuine public consultation, participation and oversight,” warning of the risk of “deepening feelings of alienation and undermining faith in the transition process.”

The UN envoy said the formation of the People's Council was a crucial step in the political transition and was expected to take place in September.

“It is absolutely essential that all major Syrian groups and components are fully involved in the elections as voters and candidates,” Pedersen said, referring to the importance of women’s participation in the process.

The UN envoy said the world body “stands ready to do everything we can to help, working with the interim authorities and all Syrians,” adding that “the political transition in Syria simply cannot fail.” –0–

JERUSALEM, July 29 (Xinhua) — Two prominent Israeli human rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights in Israel (PHRI), on Monday released separate reports claiming for the first time that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.

B'Tselem's report says Israel's military offensive on Gaza, which has lasted more than 21 months, has been accompanied by mass killings, both directly and by creating uninhabitable conditions.

This is compounded by mass arrests and abuse of Palestinians in Israeli prisons, which have effectively become torture camps, the report says, adding that Israel is also responsible for the destruction of Gaza's social fabric, including the destruction of Palestinian educational and cultural institutions.

The report said it concluded that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

A second report by PHRI says there is a “deliberate and gradual dismantling of Gaza’s health system and with it the population’s ability to survive.” It says this amounts to genocide.

The document also says that since October 2023, Israel has attacked 33 of 36 hospitals and clinics in the Gaza Strip, depriving them of fuel and water.

Dozens of people are reported to be dying every day from malnutrition. At least 85 children have died from starvation, and 92 percent of infants aged six months to two years are not receiving adequate nutrition.

The report says Israel has displaced nine out of every 10 Gazans, destroyed or damaged 92 percent of homes and left more than half a million children without schools or stability.

Both organizations called on the international community to stop Israel's offensive to prevent further loss of life in Gaza.

Israeli government spokesman David Menser on Monday rejected accusations of genocide as baseless, saying Israel had sent 1.9 million tons of humanitarian aid, mostly food, to Gaza.

According to him, the human rights activists' reports are an attempt to deprive Israel of the right to self-defense against the Hamas movement. –0–

LISBON, July 29 (Xinhua) — Portugal has expressed concern over the recently concluded tariff deal between the EU and the United States, calling it a limited improvement that is not in line with genuine free trade principles and comes at a high cost to both sides.

The country's Ministry of Economy and Territorial Integrity acknowledged that the agreement, which sets US tariffs on European goods at 15 percent, could provide some predictability. However, "nothing can replace free trade," and Portugal will continue to actively advocate for the gradual elimination of tariffs and other trade barriers, the ministry stressed.

The Confederation of Portuguese Businesses (CPB) expressed only “relative relief” at the agreement, noting that the price to be paid was “high for both sides.”

“When you were expecting a hurricane, you are glad that it is just a normal storm,” said CBP Director General Rafael Alves Rocha. However, he warned that the agreed duties were significantly higher than the current average of around 2.5 percent, representing a setback for exporters and highlighting the asymmetry of the EU and US tariff structures.

The CPB said the agreement was unbalanced and put European producers at a disadvantage.

The Portuguese government responded to the potential negative consequences with financial support measures for businesses.

The Reforcar programme, aimed at protecting companies from adverse trade consequences, was launched in April. To date, 14,000 applications have been submitted for a total of €3.2 billion, of which €2.5 billion has been approved and €1.6 billion has already been spent.

In addition, a special credit line has been created to support export-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises. The Ministry of Economy received 2.6 thousand applications for 1.3 billion euros, of which 600 million euros were approved.

The new PT2030 incentive programme has launched a non-repayable grant pipeline to support internationalisation, targeting joint projects and cooperation strategies in foreign markets. The ministry announced that public applications for collective internationalisation initiatives will open on 31 July.

Despite these supportive measures, Lisbon's cautious tone and criticism from the business community reflect significant doubts about the long-term benefits of the EU-US trade deal. –0–

JERUSALEM, July 29 (Xinhua) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to present a plan to annex part of the Gaza Strip to the country's security cabinet, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday evening.

According to her, B. Netanyahu told the ministers that Israel gave Hamas several days to agree on a ceasefire. If it refuses the agreement, Israel will begin to gradually annex parts of the Gaza Strip until the Palestinian movement surrenders, the prime minister added.

The article notes that B. Netanyahu has chosen this course of action in order to secure the support of the far-right Religious Zionism party, which opposes both the ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. Keeping this party in the coalition is crucial to preventing the collapse of the current government.

According to media reports, Religious Zionism leader and cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich told his associates that the party is pushing a “good strategic move” and it will soon become clear whether it will be successful.

Haaretz writes that during his conversations with ministers, B. Netanyahu stated that his plan was approved by the administration of US President Donald Trump.

Also on Monday, the Prime Minister's Office said Israel would continue to work with international organizations, as well as the United States and European countries, to ensure that large amounts of humanitarian aid reach the Gaza Strip. "While the situation in Gaza remains difficult and Israel works to ensure that aid reaches the Strip, Hamas is benefiting from attempts to create the impression of a humanitarian crisis," the office said. -0-
