In a briefing to the UN Security Council in New York on Tuesday, UN Middle East peace envoy Tor Wennesland said he had witnessed a \u201chorrific humanitarian nightmare\u201d during a recent visit to Gaza.<\/p>\n
He said the north of the Palestinian territory had received virtually no humanitarian assistance since the start of October, when the Israeli military began a ground offensive in the Jabalia area that it said was aimed at stopping Hamas fighters from regrouping there. <\/p>\n
The operation has killed scores of Palestinians, caused mass displacement and led to the closure of essential services, including water wells and medical facilities.<\/p>\n
The US ambassador said the reports of children going days without food in Jabalia had made her think about how she had seen a girl die of starvation almost three decades ago.<\/p>\n
Ms Thomas-Greenfield said the Biden administration had made clear to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel must address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza immediately and that the US \u201crejects any Israeli efforts to starve Palestinians in Jabalia, or anywhere else\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe US has stated clearly that Israel must allow food, medicine and other supplies into all of Gaza – especially the north, and especially as winter sets in – and protect the workers distributing it,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Mr Danon told the Council that Israel had been \u201chard at work delivering humanitarian aid\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem isn\u2019t the flow of aid. It is Hamas, which hijacks supplies, storing or selling them to fuel their terror machine while Gaza\u2019s civilians are neglected. Israel remains committed to working with our partners to deliver aid to those in need,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On 13 October, the Biden administration told Mr Netanyahu\u2019s government that Israel must act within 30 days on a series of concrete measures to boost aid supplies, citing US laws which can prohibit military assistance to countries that impede delivery of US humanitarian aid. <\/p>\n
They included enabling a minimum of 350 lorries a day to enter through all Israeli-controlled crossings with Gaza and ending the \u201cisolation\u201d of the north immediately.<\/p>\n
According to data published Unrwa, external<\/span>, only 852 aid lorries have crossed into Gaza this month, compared with about 3,000 lorries in September. A total of 502 have entered since the letter, with an average of 35 lorries crossing each day between 14 and 29 October.<\/p>\nIsrael\u2019s own data, meanwhile, says a total of 1,386 lorries have crossed between 1 and 28 October, external<\/span> – a daily average of 49. It says there are also 670 lorry loads of aid awaiting collection from inside Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
