UN spokesman Stefan Dujarric on Friday warned of the increasing intensity of humanitarian crises in the Gaza Strip in light of the continuous closure of all border crossings.
Dujarric said – in a press statement – that the United Nations Emergency Relief Agency (the World Food Program) was unable to transfer any assistance to the sector due to the closure of the border crossings that entered its 12th day, as its closure led to a sharp increase in food prices, with the high costs of basic foodstuffs such as flour and sugar, which limited the possibility of obtaining them.
“There is also a shortage of fuel, which affects the movement of vehicles throughout Gaza and slows down the work of the initial response teams,” the UN spokesman added.
He pointed out that the Office of Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stressed that the oxygen supplies and electricity generators are very necessary to maintain the operations of life in Gaza hospitals, and he said: “At least twenty additional generators are needed for health centers, as the generators currently used need to be maintained and spare parts.”
