Development – which also applies to occupied West Bank – is the result of the Israeli requirement introduced on March 9 impacting international non -governmental organizations (NGOs).
“Unless urgent measures are taken … Most of the NGO international partners could be deactivated on September 9 or earlier – Force them to withdraw all international staff and prevent them from providing critical humanitarian assistance and saving lives to the Palestinians, “said the UN and partner assistance organizations which are known collectively as the humanitarian country in the Palestinian Territory (OPT).
Many United Nations agencies still operate in Gaza, working in close collaboration with NGO partners to reach the most vulnerable people of the Enclave torn by the war. International NGOs are essential because they provide critical support to Palestinian NGOs in the form of supplies, financing and technical support.
Collective call
“Without this cooperation, their operations will be cut, reducing even more communities in food services, medical care, shelters and critical protection services,” said the humanitarian team, which is supervised by the UN superior assistance official in OPT and includes heads of the United Nations agency and more than 200 local and international NGOs.
Already, NGOs are prohibited who have not registered in the new system to send supplies to Gaza.
Last month, the Israeli authorities rejected repeated requests by 29 of them to send humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing organizations as “unauthorized”.
“This policy has already prevented the delivery of rescue aid, including medicine, food and hygiene,” said the humanitarian collective. “This most deeply affects women, children, the elderly and disabled people, more aggravating the risk of being subject to abuse and exploitation.”
In a statement urging Israel to reconsider its request for information sensitive to NGO employees, the humanitarian team insisted that The empire of his work violates international law “when we receive daily death reports by famine while Gaza faces famine conditions”.
Convoy tragedy
Meanwhile, inside Gaza, reports indicated on Wednesday that at least 20 people had been killed and dozens of others injured in the center of Gaza after a convoy of aid trucks overturned in a crowd.
The incident occurred Tuesday in southern Deir al-Balah, Central Gaza, according to local authorities. Other reports have indicated that desperate people asking for help had climbed the trucks before drivers lost control.
In his Last help update, the United Nations Coordination Office, OCHA, noted that 90% of the aid to Gaza since July 20 was “discharged by hungry crowds or looted by armed gangs”.
People who are approaching assistance convoys near Israeli military checks continue to be killed and injured, Ochha said.
He cited the health authorities who reported that Between May 27 to August 4, there were 1,516 deaths and more than 10,000 injuries On militarized distribution sites or along the ways of humanitarian aid convoy.
