UN team: The new military distribution system endangers civilians in Gaza

WORLD, May 29 (YPA) – The UN and international humanitarian team in the occupied Palestinian territory warned on Thursday that the new military distribution system in Gaza does not meet the needs of the population, does not protect their dignity, but rather puts them at risk and contradicts humanitarian principles.

In a press release, the team called on Israel to treat civilians humanely and respect their inherent dignity, facilitate the delivery of aid, and refrain from forcible transfers.

“We need a regular and widespread flow of aid, through multiple crossings, to communities, as we have done in the past, and unimpeded access,” the team said.

The team added, “We need to enable all humanitarian partners, including UNRWA, to deliver supplies and, more importantly, services. Supplies alone do not constitute an effective humanitarian response; it is essential to ensure the continuity of service delivery throughout Gaza without interruption.”
