The UN said on Monday that Israel denied or impeded nearly half of coordinated humanitarian aid movements inside the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire deal, with only just over half fully facilitated over a six-day period.<\/p>\n
Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs\u202f(OCHA), UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric warned during a news conference that humanitarian operations “continue to face\u202fsignificant\u202fimpediments.”<\/p>\n
“Shipments from Jordan are restricted to a route that requires multiple offloading and reloading points,” he said, adding that “shipments from Egypt, via\u202fKerem Shalom\/Karem Abu Salem,\u202fface high return rates: despite a recent improvement, between Feb. 4 and 10, less than 60% of consignments\u202ffrom Egypt\u202fcould be\u202foffloaded\u202fat that crossing point.”<\/p>\n
In Gaza, Dujarric stressed that “humanitarian\u202fmovements\u202fthat require coordination with Israeli authorities\u202falso\u202fcontinue to\u202fface\u202fobstacles.”<\/p>\n
“Of nearly 50 such movements coordinated between Feb. 6 and 11, just over\u202f\u202fhalf were fully facilitated,” he said, noting that “five were denied outright, and\u202f11 were approved but encountered significant delays and other impediments, including two that were only partially accomplished as a result.”<\/p>\n
“And just today, we had two more denials,” he said.<\/p>\n
Dujarric said UN teams on the ground continued discussions with Israel to “clarify the constraints and seek their\u202fresolution.”<\/p>\n
A US-backed ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since Oct. 10, halting Israel\u2019s two-year war that has killed more than 72,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 others since October 2023.<\/p>\n
Since the agreement took effect on Oct. 10, Israeli forces have committed hundreds of violations through shelling and gunfire, killing 603 Palestinians and injuring 1,618 others, according to Gaza\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n
