More than 5 people were killed in two days after collecting relief in the Gaza Valley. A few hundred more were injured. The news agency Anadolu said this on Friday, according to a UN official.
Citing information from the UN Humanitial Assistance Coordination (OCHA), UN Secretary -General Farhan Haque said that Gaza people are still suffering from large food crisis and many of them are risking their lives for food.
Farhan Haque said, “More than 5 people have been killed in the last two days and hundreds of more people have been injured on the way to the relief or the distribution center of the Israeli military.”
He said, “It is a fundamental right for everyone to take the risk of life to collect food.”
According to Farhan Haque, the lack of minimum materials in Gaza for months has deepened the ongoing crisis. To overcome this crisis, the 'free flow of humanitarian assistance' must be ensured.
“Citizens need to always ensure protection at all times and do not stop the distribution of assistance at the local level,” he said.
The United Nations is still facing various obstacles and risk to reach relief using the Israeli authorities' prescribed route.
“The way Israeli authorities tell us to use the paths that the Israeli authorities are often inadequate, dangerous, traffic congestion or inaccessible.”
Referring to the pace of humanitarian assistance is still 'insufficient', he said that the UN parties are still falling in the face of various 'obstacles and danger' at Israel.
