Gaza – the United Nations warns against using aid “as a taste to force the population to displace”

This came in the words of UNICEF spokesman James Elder, who assured reporters in Geneva on Friday that the only thing that enters Gaza is now “It is bombs,” While it was banned “Everything necessary for the child to survive, in many ways, was proudly banned.” He said that this situation represents “A deep moral collapse, and no one will escape the price of this indifference.”

An impossible option between displacement and death

UNICEF spokesman said that the plan – which Israel presented to the humanitarian community – prohibits weakest groups that cannot reach the proposed military areas of aid, and their families are exposed to the risk of targeting or falling into the mutual fires while they are moving to and from these areas.

He added: “The use of humanitarian aid as a taste to force the population to displace, especially from north to south, will create an impossible option between displacement and death.”

He also pointed out that, according to the offered plan, only 60 aid trucks will be connected to the Gaza Strip daily, which represents the tenth of what was delivered during the ceasefire, which is not sufficient to “meet the needs of 2.1 million people, including 1.1 million children.”

Mr. Elder expressed his deep concern about the proposal to use face recognition technology as a pre -condition for aid, adding that examining and monitoring beneficiaries “For intelligence and military purposes that violates all humanitarian principles.”

He said that there is a simple alternative to that, which is “Raise the closure, allow the entry of humanitarian aid, and save lives.”

“There is no escape from death”

For its part, Juliet Toma, UNRWA’s communications director, said that the people of Gaza are inevitable as that “Death is chasing them wherever they go, there is no safe place in Gaza.”

She added that “Dealing and indifference” They are the feature of the ongoing events in Gaza, and she continued: “It is as if we are proud of the expropriation of humanity, and we overlook the crimes that were broadcast directly in front of our eyes, and under the attention of the world. Families are bombed in Gaza, children burning neighborhoods, and people are starving.”

Mrs. Toma added that hunger is spreading in Gaza, and even long queues to receive a little food that was distributed “I disappeared now” Because of the running out of food. She noticed during her conversation with her UN colleagues in Gaza via video “They lose weight.”

The problem is not in capabilities

Toma said it “Impossible” The replacement of UNRWA in Gaza, it is the largest humanitarian organization in the Strip and has the largest spread. She noted that more than ten thousand employees “are working to deliver the remaining supplies” and manage the shelters of displaced families, including the school that was bombed earlier this week, in which 30 people were killed.

She reminded that during the ceasefire, the United Nations managed to successfully manage and deliver aid to Gaza residents, adding that UNRWA has supported the population there for many years before the current war. She added: “There is a system [إنساني] Existing, if there is a political will to make it work again. “

Mrs. Toma indicated that the agency managed the aid she entered into Gaza on his own, and did not witness any transfer of aid (on the specified purpose). She pointed out that even with reporting allegations of aid transfer, UNRWA has started investigations into these reports “It is very difficult to refute it” The international media is prevented from covering events in Gaza independently.

Commenting on the issue of transferring aid, UNICEF spokesman, James Elder, said that the issue of the reason for preventing aid is raising itself. He asked: “Even if we accept the claim as it is, what about incubators?

He said that the aid that prevents entry includes vaccines, oxygen cylinders and textbooks, and added: “Once you start to delve into the things that are banned under a comprehensive statement to divert the course of aid, then we start seeing the truth.”

Hanging aid outside Gaza

Mrs. Toma said that UNRWA alone has more than 3000 trucks loaded with aid stuck outside Gaza, “Therefore, instead of food going to children or going to medicines with chronic diseases, it is likely to be lost. Time passes. The crossings must be reopened, and the siege must be lifted as quickly as possible.”

For its part, the World Health Organization spokeswoman, Dr. Margaret Harris, confirmed that the health system in Gaza has not witnessed any aid transfer. She said that the organization’s supplies reach the health facilities that were aimed at serving it, and added: “It is not a matter of failure to deliver aid inside Gaza, but rather by preventing it.”

She explained that medical supplies and medicines are running out very quickly, with the increasing need for them due to the miserable living conditions and the continued bombing. Dr. Harris also indicated that more than 10,500 patients in Gaza need an urgent medical evacuation, including four thousand children, however, only 122 patients have been evacuated since the resumption of hostilities on March 18.
