ALBAWABA - According to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, Israel has prevented almost half of the humanitarian supplies that was scheduled to be sent to northern Gaza in June.
Speaking at a daily news conference, Dujarric emphasized the dire lack of food and housing for Gaza's displaced people, which is made worse by tight security and a scarcity of gasoline at the Kerem Shalom gate.
He raised worries about the serious hazards that unexploded ordnance poses, particularly to children, mentioning the terrible death of a 9-year-old girl in Khan Yunis on Saturday as a result of unexploded ordnance.
Dujarric said that continued security concerns are preventing additional operations, but he acknowledged that the World Food Programme (WFP) was able to deliver some supplies from the floating dock in Gaza with the help of the United States.
In order to guarantee secure assistance delivery and safety for humanitarian personnel, the spokesman underlined the critical necessity for efficient collaboration with Israel.
The Israeli bombings on Gaza have continued, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, resulting in 23 deaths and 91 injuries in the last 24 hours. As of October 7, 2023, there have been 37,900 deaths and 87,060 injuries recorded.
There were worries expressed about victims buried behind debris and at the sides of highways, out of the reach of medical personnel and civil defense because of Israeli restrictions.
Inhumane treatment of Palestinians at Israel's Sde Teima military prison facility, where inmates endured harsh, protracted confinement, was previously revealed by The New York Times.
The state of affairs highlights the growing strain and humanitarian emergency in Gaza, amidst continuous global cries for action and responsibility.
