Gaza City: The UN and international humanitarian team in the occupied Palestinian territory warned on Thursday that the new military distribution system in Gaza does not meet the needs of the population, does not protect their dignity, but rather puts them at risk and contradicts humanitarian principles.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the team called on Israel to treat civilians humanely and respect their inherent dignity, facilitate the delivery of aid, and refrain from forcible transfers. The press release emphasized the necessity for a regular and widespread flow of aid through multiple crossings to communities, as previously practiced, ensuring unimpeded access.
The statement highlighted the need to enable all humanitarian partners, including UNRWA, to deliver not just supplies but also essential services. It stressed that supplies alone do not constitute an effective humanitarian response and underscored the importance of ensuring the continuity of service delivery throughout Gaza without interruption.
