Humanitarian situation in Gaza

Asked to provide information on the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Ms. Berthiaume said United Nations agencies had been able to get in temporary supplies. There was now approximately one month’s worth of food supplies available. The situation was still very bad.

Adding to this, Michael Bociurkiw from UNICEF said the access into Gaza was somewhat unpredictable and there were also problems encountered in terms of getting international staff into Gaza.
