Humanitarian aid
After a period of three months of total humanitarian aid imposed by Israel, the UN was able to resume the sending of trucks loaded with flour, babies food and medical materials to the Gaza Strip last week.
According to the United Nations Palestine Refugee Assistance Agency in the Near East (Unrwa), in an interview with Metropolismalnutrition rates in the Palestinian territory had significantly increased during Israeli block and “can grow exponentially if food scarcity continues.”
“A small amount of supplies has managed to reach warehouses and bakeries in the Gaza Strip. The items that entered Gaza include children’s formulas, flour, medicines and nutritional supplies. Other critical items, such as hygiene or fuel products, were not authorized by Israeli authorities,” says Unrwa.
With the shortage of supplies, the arrival of the first humanitarian aid trucks in the territory was marked by turmoil. The hungry Palestinians even invaded the places where the food packages were being distributed. About 40 people are injured.
To date, four help posts have been established in Palestinian territory: two of them are in the area of Rafah and began their operations on Tuesday (27/5).
