United Nations said that Israeli authorities continue to obstruct the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, noting that aid has not entered the Strip for nearly two months.
Stephanie Tremblay, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, explained in a press conference that humanitarian aid has not entered Gaza for nearly two months, stressing the need to continue providing aid without interruption.
She noted that humanitarian aid workers continue to face difficulties in carrying out their duties, and that Israeli authorities only allowed the passage of two of the six humanitarian aid operations planned for yesterday.
The restrictions imposed by Israel on humanitarian access hinder the ability to supply hospitals with medical supplies, endangering the health of more patients, according to the United Nations.
Since March 2, Israel has been preventing the entry of essential supplies, including food and water, into the Gaza Strip after closing the crossings, causing a humanitarian disaster and exacerbating famine.
