UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that “Israeli forces prevented two-thirds of the 129 different humanitarian aid operations from reaching the Gaza Strip last week.”

Dujarric pointed out in a daily press conference held on Friday evening that the Palestinian people in Gaza need appropriate shelter conditions to protect them from the rain and cold as winter approaches.

He added that the United Nations and its partners are trying to quickly deliver tents to the Strip.

Dujarric pointed out that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced and their needs are rapidly increasing, with the inability to meet them easily, especially due to the Israeli blockade in northern Gaza.
