Humanitarians continue to call for Israel to facilitate aid delivery in Gaza

Humanitarian organizations are continuing to call on Israel to facilitate the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip, as the humanitarian situation in the territory deteriorates.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement on Tuesday that the Israeli authorities have restricted the entry of essential goods into Gaza, including food, fuel, and medical supplies.
“The restrictions have led to a severe shortage of basic necessities and have had a devastating impact on the lives of ordinary Palestinians,” OCHA said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement on Wednesday that the health system in Gaza is on the verge of collapse.
“The restrictions on the entry of medical supplies have made it impossible for hospitals to provide essential services,” WHO said. “Patients are dying from preventable diseases, and the risk of an outbreak of infectious disease is growing.”
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement on Thursday that the Israeli authorities must take immediate steps to facilitate the delivery of aid to Gaza.
“The humanitarian situation in Gaza is unsustainable,” ICRC said. “The Israeli authorities must lift the restrictions on the entry of essential goods and allow humanitarian organizations to operate freely.”
The Israeli authorities have said that they are concerned about the diversion of aid to Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza. However, humanitarian organizations have said that they have in place robust mechanisms to prevent this from happening.
The Israeli authorities have also said that they are working to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. However, humanitarian organizations have said that these efforts have been insufficient.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating, and humanitarian organizations are calling on the Israeli authorities to facilitate the delivery of aid. The Israeli authorities must take immediate steps to lift the restrictions on the entry of essential goods and allow humanitarian organizations to operate freely.
