Gaza: The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that the humanitarian scale-up planned by the UN and its partners in Gaza is well underway.
According to Qatar News Agency, in a statement issued Monday, OCHA said that for the first time since March, cooking gas entered Gaza yesterday, along with food, medical, and shelter supplies. "Inside Gaza, humanitarians are now able to move more easily in many areas, and teams are reaching people in places that had been cut off for up to several months. With the easing of movement and access restrictions in multiple places, humanitarians were able to pre-position medical and emergency supplies where they are needed most and assess key roads for explosive hazards," the statement added.
OCHA pointed out: "As part of the humanitarian community's plan for the first 60 days of the ceasefire, the UN and its partners will expand the scale and scope of their operations to deliver life-saving aid and services to virtually everyone across Gaza."
