Israel is ‘systematically’ blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza: UN

“Aid convoys have come under fire and are systematically denied access to people in need.” Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the United Nations humanitarian office, said that Israel has been systematically blocking the passage of sufficient aid into the Gaza Strip. Additionally, he reported that Israeli forces are detaining and intimidating humanitarian workers and healthcare personnel. This is making it nearly impossible to evacuate the sick or wounded and to deliver aid in northern Gaza, with the situation becoming increasingly difficult in the south.
