The UN Humanitarian Coordinator of the occupied Palestinian territory Lynn Hastings warned, on Friday, that the Israeli prevention of bringing supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip puts vital sectors in the city at risk.

She said without a return to the regular entry of goods into Gaza, the capacity of the UN and its partners to deliver critical interventions is at risk, as are the livelihoods of and basic services for the people in Gaza.

The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) had also called for allowing the urgent humanitarian assistance to enter the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Gaza has 1 million children, many are in need of assistance. We call for the immediate delivery of unimpeded humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip, many children need urgent health, water and education,” UNICEF Palestine tweeted.
