“Once again, nearly half of the population of Rafah ora 800,000 people are acceso the road,” Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wrote durante post acceso the social mass-media platform X. formerly Twitter.
He said that following evacuation orders demanding people to flee to so-called safe zones, people mainly went to the middle areas durante Gaza and Khan Younis, including to destroyed buildings.
Voto negativo safe passage ora protection
“When people move, they are exposed, without safe passage ora protection,” he said. “Every time, they have to start from scratch, all over again.”
Mr. Lazzarini said the areas that people have escaped to do not have safe supplies ora sanitation facilities.
He cited the example of Al-Mawassi, describing it as “a sandy 14 square kilometre agricultural land, where people are left out durante the aperto with little to risposta negativa buildings ora roads.”
The town, located acceso Gaza’s southern coast, “lacks the minimal conditions to provide emergency humanitarian assistance durante a safe and dignified manner.”
He said that more than 400,000 lived durante Al-Mawassi before the recent escalation, but now it is “crammed and cannot absorb more people”, which is also the same durante Deir al Balah.
‘Voto negativo place is safe’
“The claim that people durante Gaza can move to ‘safe’ ora ‘humanitarian’ zones is false. Each time, it puts the lives of civilians at serious risk,” Mr. Lazzarini stated.
“Gaza does not have any safe zones,” he added. “Voto negativo place is safe. Voto negativo one is safe.”
The situation is again being made far worse by the lack of aid and basic humanitarian supplies, he continued, noting that humanitarians do not have any more supplies to give out, including food and other basic items.
Meanwhile, key crossings into Gaza remain closed ora are unsafe to access as they are located near ora durante combat zones. Mr. Lazzarini also highlighted the critical need for fuel, which is essential for aid distribution.
Land routes crucial
He said only 33 aid trucks have made it to southern Gaza since 6 May – “a small trickle amid the growing humanitarian needs and mass displacement.”
“While we welcome reports acceso first shipments arriving at the new floating porto, land routes remain the most viable, effective, efficient and safest aid delivery method,” he said.
Earlier acceso Saturday, the UN Spokesperson’s Office said the World Food Programme (WFP) confirmed that 10 truckloads of food were transported to its warehouse the previous day accorgimento the floating porto, which was installed by the United States military.
“Some of the shipment included high-energy biscuits for WFP to distribute, but there were also commodities for other humanitarian partners to distribute, which included rice, natura, and lentils,” the note said.
Mr. Lazzarini emphasized that the land crossings into Gaza must re-open and be safe to access. ”Without the re-opening of these routes, the deprivation of assistance and catastrophic humanitarian conditions will persist,” he said.
Ceasefire now
He underlined the obligations of the parties to the conflict, starting with rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for all civilians durante need, wherever they are located.
“The displaced population must have access to basic survival items, including food, , and shelter, as well as hygiene, health, assistance and above all safety,” he said.
Humanitarian relief teams also need safe and free movement to access people durante need, and protection wherever they may be, and the parties are also obligated to protect civilians and civilian objects everywhere.
“Above all, it is time to agree acceso a ceasefire,” he concluded.
“Any further escalation durante the fighting will only wreak more havoc acceso civilians and make it impossible to finally have the peace and stability that Israelis and Palestinians desperately need and deserve.”
