United Nations: Trucks loaded with aid began to move finally in Gaza despite the tremendous challenges

In a post on the X platform on Thursday, Fletcher said: “I am fascinated by the courage of our humanitarian employees. But they are still facing tremendous challenges in taking goods from the crossing to where needed them. It is a vital and savior work for life.”.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has reported that the Israeli authorities allowed him yesterday, Wednesday, to reach the outstanding supplies at the Kerem Abu Salem crossing, which entered during the past two days and did not include basic materials such as hygiene and fuel supplies.

Despite the entry of nearly a hundred trucks to this region, UN spokesman, Stephen Dujarric, assured journalists in New York not to transfer any aid to the United Nations warehouses in the sector.

Dujarik explained that until Tuesday evening, the Israeli authorities did not allow the United Nations teams except to pass through one region very crowded, and the organization estimated that the proposed road “It is not safe, and looting is very likely due to the prolonged deprivation in Gaza since the closure imposed by the Israeli authorities for more than 11 weeks.”

Until Wednesday evening, no commercial or humanitarian supply was allowed to enter Gaza since the second of March, which has already exacerbated the catastrophic hunger crisis.

The World Health Organization said that at least 57 children were killed by malnutrition, according to local health authorities.

Action without stopping

Video footage published by the World Food Program on Thursday showed relief crews, which accelerated to empty flour bags from trucks in a warehouse. In other places of the warehouse, other shots showed large quantities of dough that are manufactured in an industrial mixer.

The program said: “Our teams are working without stopping to restart bakeries. But this is not enough to support all those in need. We need more trucks and more food now.”.
