UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that all the aid authorized so far in Gaza is a teaspoon of help when a huge flood of aid is needed.
"The needs are great and the obstacles are also great," he said.
According to Guterres, strict quotas, bans on key supplies, and unnecessary delays are being imposed.
"Meanwhile, the Israeli military offensive is intensifying with horrific levels of death and destruction. Four-fifths of Gaza's territory is a no-go zone for the people of Gaza," Guterres added.
He calls for a permanent ceasefire, the immediate release of hostages and full humanitarian access. The UN has the personnel, distribution networks and community relations needed, Guterres says.
About 9,000 trucks of supplies are waiting to help Gaza.
Recall that Israel imposed a blockade on all supplies starting March 2, saying Hamas was seizing supplies for its fighters - an accusation the group denies.
Netanyahu on Wednesday allowed only 100 trucks carrying baby food and medical supplies into Gaza.
The UN has said that a quarter of Gaza's 2.3 million residents are at risk of starvation.
Doctors say the healthcare system in Gaza has been struggling, with most medical facilities out of order, due to repeated Israeli military attacks, raids and a ban on the entry of medical supplies.
