RAMALLAH - The United Nations said that the Israeli occupation authorities continue to obstruct the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza, noting that aid has not entered the Strip for nearly two months, Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.
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 workers continue to face difficulties in carrying out their duties, and that the occupation authorities only allowed the passage of two of the six humanitarian aid operations planned for yesterday.
The restrictions imposed by the occupation 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, the occupation has prevented the entry of essential supplies, including food and water, into the Gaza Strip after closing the crossings, causing a humanitarian disaster and exacerbating famine. - BERNAMA
