Like these NGOs, UNRWA has also been banned from bringing in aid to Gaza for over 5 months now.
Our warehouses in Egypt and Jordan are full with food, medicine and hygiene supplies to fill 6,000 trucks.
We join the NGOs to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and for aid to be allowed in, managed by the UN system including UNRWA
