New York: The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher warned that supplies of aid are at risk of running out in Gaza as Israeli entity blocks deliveries to the enclave.
"In those six weeks, we made massive progress in feeding many of those millions who needed the food, getting medicine in, starting to get those hospitals back up and running. We opened several new wells while I was there. So all of that was making a massive difference," Fletcher said in a press conference.
"Eleven days is already too long to prevent aid reaching civilians who so badly need it," said Fletcher.
"The supplies are clearly running out very, very fast," he asserted.
"The fact that we're not getting fuel in means that incubators are being switched off," said Fletcher, adding that Gaza will quickly become a humanitarian crisis again.
The Israeli occupation announced, on 2 March 2025, the cessation of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and the closure of the crossings "until further notice."
