UNRWA: Aid delivery to Gaza 'extremely difficult' with Israeli restrictions
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) says a humanitarian response to aid delivery to the besieged Gaza Strip will be "extremely difficult, if not impossible" with Israel's severe restrictions.
"There is an urgent need for sustained and proportionate access to aid, to be able to provide life-saving aid to Gaza," the UNRWA spokesperson, Louise Wateridge, said on Monday.
She added that the UNRWA relief teams in Gaza are facing "great difficulties" to receive Israel's approval for the entry and delivery of aid.
Humanitarian relief shipments into Gaza should be carried out in a way that guarantees the "safety of relief teams and the safety of the aid at the same time.”
She raised a question about the benefit of the presence of doctors and nurses in Gaza when medicine is not available due to strict Israeli restrictions.
Israel has killed at least 37,900 Palestinians, mostly children and women, and injured over 87,000 in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The brutal onslaught enjoys unreserved military and political support on the part of the Israeli regime’s Western allies, not least the United States and France.
