“All available aid routes need to be opened, immediately, and there must be an urgent significant increase in the aid allowed through Gaza’s southern crossings, where only a fraction of the needed aid and imports have been allowed to pass since 7 October 2023.”
“After deliberately hampering aid and drastically tightening its 16-year-long suffocating blockade for the last six months inflicting horrifying conditions on civilians in Gaza, Israel cannot be commended for finally making minimal effort to address a humanitarian catastrophe that it is responsible for creating. Opening additional aid routes sooner could have stopped hundreds of thousands of people from enduring appalling levels of hunger,” said the statement.
