UNWRA’s commissioner-general, Philippe Lazzarini, says aid delivery into Gaza continues to be constrained.
He listed some the following reasons as to why in a post on X:
- Israeli military operations
- Limited number of open crossing points into Gaza
- Insecurity for humanitarian workers
- Near total breakdown of law and order
- Regular denials and delays by Israeli forces for coordinated movement and convoys
He called for “uninterrupted, regular, coordinated and meaningful flow of humanitarian assistance”; “safety and security” for aid workers; and a ceasefire among several other requirements to remedy the situation.
