Israel, under pressure, allows more help to Gaza, but the UN says

A life line for LoopThe approximately 2 million displaced inhabitants were in operation again on Monday, with truck convoys in motion. They urgently carried emergency food aid after a sudden reversal of politics by Israel.

Government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced during the weekend that would allow more food and medications to enter the Palestinian territory devastated by war after images of familiar people and malnourished children DREW INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATION.

Israel has also allowed humanitarian drops. On Sunday, Israel, Jordan and the EAU, all parachute aid pallets in the ruins of Gaza.

The drops are dramatic, but they are expensive, inefficient and potentially dangerous. People have been wounded and even killed by heavy palettes During the past air it falls on the territory.

To meet the need, most of the aid will have to get to Gaza in truck. Each truck can transport between 4 and 10 times more than a parachute.

After 22 months of war, including the months in which Israel blocked all the aid in Gaza, people are so hungry that the convoys are looting.

The video of the weekend showed men climbing to take out truck flour bags before they could reach the aid deposits.

International beneficial organizations have a new name for this, “autodistribution”, and is a graphic representation of the level of despair in the Palestinian enclave.

On Sunday, 120 help trucks moved to Gaza. At least it was expected to arrive on Monday, but it is not enough. Before the war began, plus 500 trucks per day were the norm.

In a statement on Monday, the UN agency commissioned the Palestinians, Unrwa, welcomed the Declaration of Humanitarian Pauses of Israel and the flexibility of restrictions on the aid to enter Gaza, but emphasized that much more was needed.

Unrwa warned that, according to their data, “1 in 5 children is malnourished in the city of Gaza. According to the reports, more children have starved to hunger; carrying the number of deaths … to more than 100”.

“We hope that Unrwa will finally be allowed to bring thousands of trucks loaded with food, medications and hygiene supplies. They are currently in Jordan and Egypt waiting for the green light,” the agency said. “Opening all crosses and flooding Gaza with help is the only way to avoid a greater deepening of starvation among Gaza people. What is needed is at least 500/600 basic concept trucks every day.”

The Israeli army also said that it will ensure safe routes so that help trucks deliver and distribute their loads through Gaza. It is something that UN help agencies have been pressing and, if it works, it will allow very necessary food to finally reach the people who need it so much.
