Effects of ‘war and siege’ on show as Gazans break into UN aid warehouses
#UnitedNations #UNRWA #UNHCR
Thousands of Gaza residents have broken into warehouses and distribution centres of the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) grabbing flour and “basic survival items”, according to the organisation.
“This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down after three weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza,” said Thomas White, the director of UNRWA affairs in the Gaza Strip, in a statement.
“People are scared, frustrated and desperate. Tensions and fear are made worse by the cuts in the phones and internet communication lines. They feel that they are on their own, cut off from their families inside Gaza and the rest of the world.
“Supplies on the market are running out while the humanitarian aid coming into the Gaza Strip on trucks from Egypt is insufficient.”
Aid supplies to Gaza have been choked since Israel began bombarding in early October.
On Saturday, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said “Israeli obstacles” were impeding the prompt delivery of aid through the Rafah crossing.
