António Guterres Instagram – Nowhere and no one is safe in Gaza.
While there have been some steps to increase the flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, life-saving relief is not getting to people who have endured months of relentless assault at anywhere near the scale needed.
The obstacles to aid are clear. We cannot effectively deliver humanitarian aid while Gaza is under such heavy, widespread and unrelenting bombardment.
This endangers the lives of those who receive aid – and those who deliver it.
An effective aid operation requires:
Security.
An environment where staff can work in safety.
The necessary logistics and the resumption of commercial activity.
Aid workers, under enormous pressure and with no safety guarantees, are doing their best to deliver, but we need rapid, safe, unhindered, expanded and sustained humanitarian access into and across Gaza. | Posted on 17/Jan/2024 01:31:05
