Shafaqna English- Heads of some UN’s agencies, including the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), have called for putting the Gaza ceasefire back into effect.
“With the tightened Israeli blockade on Gaza now in its second month, we appeal to world leaders to act firmly, urgently, and decisively to ensure the basic principles of international humanitarian law are upheld. Protect civilians, facilitate aid, release hostages, renew a ceasefire,” they urged.
The statement said that during the two months of the truce, it was possible to arrange aid supplies to almost all corners of the Gaza Strip, but now the supplies of food and necessary items have dwindled to extremely low levels.
