The number of aid trucks entering Gaza through crossings of Rafah and Kerem Shalom has fallen.
JERUSALEM – UN Palestinian refugee agency chief Philippe Lazzarini said Thursday that Israeli authorities are prioritising the private commercial sector at the main crossing point for goods entering Gaza.
While private goods are "welcome in the Gaza Strip", he said most Gazans are desperate after seven months of war and cannot afford goods at the current market prices.The number of aid trucks entering Gaza through the southern crossings of Rafah and Kerem Shalom has fallen dramatically in recent weeks, aid agencies say.
"An offensive is ongoing, many areas had to be evacuated, and moving in this kind of environment is extraordinarily difficult and requires a lot of deconfliction with the Israeli military on the ground," he added. Now closed and under Israeli military control, Rafah was the first crossing into Gaza to reopen after the war began last October.
Lazzarini said the new crossings had provided some relief to north Gaza and "we might have reversed the trend leaning towards famine".
