The United Nations asserted on Tuesday that no aid has yet been distributed in Gaza despite several aid trucks entering the Palestinian territory after an 11-week blockade. The statement comes a day after Israel resumed limited humanitarian aid and food deliveries into Gaza with experts warning of a famine looming in the area.
According to Israeli officials, 93 trucks entered Gaza carrying flour, baby food, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs.
U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric claimed that "Israeli authorities are requiring us to offload supplies on the Palestinian side of Kerem Shalom crossing and reload them separately once they secure our team's access from inside the Gaza Strip,바카라 as reported by Reuters.
"Today, one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Kerem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse,바카라 he added further.
UN aid Chief Tom Fletcher had earlier said that the aid allowed by Israel is just 바카라a drop in the ocean.바카라
According to reports, malnutrition is also increasing in Gaza. Akihiro Seita, UNRWA Director of Health said that, "I have data until the end of April and it shows malnutrition on the rise. And then the worry is that if the current food shortage continues, it will exponentially increase, and then get beyond our control.바카라
The developments have come after Israel announced its plans to intensify its offensive and capture all of the Palestinian territory.
