The UN's emergency relief coordinator has condemned Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza, describing it as cruel collective punishment amidst a severe humanitarian crisis. Thousands of Palestinians recently breached a humanitarian office seeking aid, while reports show a collapse of medical services, resulting in rising cases of malnutrition among vulnerable populations. The UN emphasizes the necessity of allowing aid flow as mandated by international law, insisting that aid should not be used as a bargaining tool, as it threatens the lives and dignity of civilians in desperate need.
Blocking aid starves civilians. It leaves them without basic medical support. It strips them of dignity and hope. It inflicts a cruel collective punishment. Blocking aid kills.
The humanitarian movement is independent, impartial and neutral. We believe that all civilians are equally worthy of protection.
