Aid access Gaza faces severe obstacles as NGOs report increased difficulties due to Israeli military actions, impeding essential h...
Access to war-torn Gaza has become increasingly difficult for humanitarian groups, 13 leading NGOs warned on Monday, accusing Israel's military of blocking much-needed aid from reaching the besieged Palestinian territory.
The charities also criticised the bombing of United Nations schools used as shelters by displaced Palestinians."These recent events are exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe at a time when NGOs continue to come up against the obstacles imposed by the continuation of Israeli military operations on the ground," a press release summarising the 13 NGOs' views warned.
Tonnes of"absolutely necessary aid" were left blocked at the crossing points in the south"due to the deterioration in security conditions", the statement said. At Kerem Shalom, designated since May as a priority crossing point for humanitarian aid, the situation had"deteriorated significantly since Israel's offensive in May", the aid groups said.Israel denies any famine in Gaza and accuses the United Nations of blocking aid deliveries.
The militants seized 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza including 42 the military says are dead. Blinken received two influential Israeli officials -- Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi --"to express our serious concern about the recent civilian casualties in Gaza."
The Israeli military said the bombardment targeted two people -- the head of Hamas's military wing, Mohammed Deif, and his close associate Rafa Salama who the army said was killed. The visit comes several few days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to address the US Congress on July 24.
