The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) called for the unimpeded flow of humanitarian supplies into the Gaza Strip, following the worsening humanitarian catastrophe resulting from the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities over the past 20 months.
The agency said in a statement on Friday that its warehouse in the Jordanian capital, Amman, contains enough aid for more than 200,000 citizens for a full month, including flour, food parcels, hygiene supplies, blankets, and medicine, and that the aid is ready for immediate dispatch.
She explained that "the warehouse is only a three-hour drive from Gaza," referring to the stifling Israeli blockade that hinders the arrival of supplies.
UNRWA stressed that the humanitarian needs in Gaza are enormous and require urgent intervention, calling for the opening of crossings and ensuring the regular and continuous flow of aid to save lives.
"Gaza needs massive aid, and supplies must be allowed to flow without hindrance or interruption," she said.
The Gaza Strip has been suffering from a catastrophic humanitarian and relief crisis since Israel closed the crossings on March 2, preventing the entry of food, medicine, aid, and fuel.
