The United Nations (UN) announced that Israeli authorities approved only one-third of the 129 humanitarian aid operations planned for Gaza last week.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric also said that the Palestinian population in Gaza needs adequate shelter to protect them from the rain and cold as winter approaches.
He added that the UN and its partners are trying to quickly deliver tents to the area.
Recalling that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have already been displaced, Dujarric stressed that their needs are increasing rapidly and cannot be easily met, especially due to the Israeli siege on northern Gaza.
“The Israeli authorities approved only a third of the 129 humanitarian operations planned for Gaza last week,” Dujarric said, noting that other operations were prevented for “security and logistical” reasons, AA writes.
