UN Official Voices Concern about Gaza's Humanitarian Plight

-- A senior United Nations official voiced concern about the humanitarian plight of the people of Gaza, who are suffering due to the lack of access into the area for urgently needed supplies.

More than two months after the end of the military operation, “we’re still faced with the same inadequate access even though the needs have grown significantly,” John Ging, Director of Operations in Gaza for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said.

“Until we can get the humanitarian assistance in, in an unfettered way, we can’t begin the process of recovery and reconstruction.”

He stressed that even if data-x-items such as medicine and vital household supplies can enter Gaza freely, “we shouldn’t content ourselves with mere survival because again, it’s not just about keeping people alive, it’s about giving them a life, giving them a reason to live.”
