UN denounces ‘worst restrictions’ on humanitarian aid in Gaza since war began

The Israeli Army has intensified its operations in the north of the territory, where thousands of people are trapped, according to the UN.

“The amount of humanitarian aid that was sent to the Gaza Strip in August was the lowest in a month since the war broke out,” said Elder, who added that there were “several days during the past week (in which) authorization was not given. no trucks come in.”

“We are probably seeing the worst restrictions ever seen in terms of humanitarian aid,” he denounced.

At the beginning of the year, when the UN feared a famine crisis in the Gaza Strip, there was “a real pressure to open new routes and new access points”, highlighted Elder.

But today, “the situation is completely opposite”, he explained, adding that since May, “entry points have been systematically blocked”.

The north of the Strip “did not receive any food, any food aid during the entire month of October”, he lamented.
