The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that life-saving humanitarian aid stuck in warehouses outside the Gaza Strip is at risk of spoilage due to Israel’s closure of the crossings and its denial of entry since March 2, in a continuation of the genocide it has been perpetrating for 19 months.
UNRWA said in a post on its Facebook page: “Humanitarian aid, including food, hygiene supplies, medicines, and shelter materials, is stuck in warehouses outside the Gaza Strip due to the blockade.”
It explained that the “life-saving” aid is now “at risk of spoilage” with the closure of the crossings, adding: “Food that people cannot eat, medicines that they cannot use.”
UNRWA confirmed that its teams and trucks are “ready to deliver aid to those who desperately need it” in Gaza.
