UN, November 7 /Xinhua/ — Despite significant progress in scaling up humanitarian aid following the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, delays in lifting restrictions mean the population's urgent needs remain unmet, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Friday.
Aid deliveries continue to be carried out only through two crossing points, with no direct access from Israel to northern Gaza or from Egypt to southern Gaza. Furthermore, certain types of cargo and NGO personnel are not allowed into the enclave, the department noted.
UN shelter partners reported that most displaced people remain in overcrowded temporary shelters, many of which have been set up spontaneously in exposed or unsafe areas.
They said that once the restrictions are lifted, humanitarian organizations will have enough materials to meet the basic needs of nearly 1.5 million Palestinians in need.
However, progress is being made in the food sector.
According to OCHA, from the ceasefire on October 10 to November 3, the UN and its partners delivered more than 37,000 tons of humanitarian aid, mainly food, through checkpoints.
Since the ceasefire, the World Food Programme (WFP) has assisted more than 1 million people with food, hot meals, bread, vitamin-fortified snacks for children, enhanced nutrition services and digital cash assistance.
