WASHINGTON (Reuters) -No humanitarian aid has been distributed yet in the Gaza Strip, U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Tuesday, despite more supplies being dropped off on the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing.
“Today, one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Kerem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to to bring those supplies into our warehouse,” Dujarric said.
Israel allowed limited aid deliveries to Gaza to resume on Monday after an 11 week blockade.
