Statement on Gaza by Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator

One month after the Gaza ceasefire, we’re continuing to seize every opportunity to save lives.

The UN and our partners have fed more than a million people.

Nutrition sites have been reopened, and hospitals are treating more patients.

Roads have been cleared.

Vital immunizations are being resumed.

Water lines repaired.

Winter clothes and blankets are being distributed and mental health and psycho-social services delivered.

But many obstacles remain. We’re working to overcome red tape, enable essential humanitarian partners, open more crossings and routes, and navigate continued insecurity.

With these constraints eased, we can do much more to save many more lives.
