United Nation (UN) has called for restoration of power supply in Gaza strip and Israel is also not allowing humanitarian aid in area.
The UN has said that Israel is not allowing Gaza to enter anything, including fuel and humanitarian aid.
UN chief expressed deep concern over Israel’s decision to cut electricity supply to Gaza, warning that the move would severely impact access to clean water for tens of thousands of people.
“The Secretary General (Antonio Guterres) is very concerned about Israel’s decision to limit electricity supply going into Gaza. This latest decision will substantially reduce the availability of drinking water in the Gaza Strip,” said spokesperson Stephane Dujarric at a news conference.
Saying that “starting today, the facility is set to run on backup generators, which will reduce the water production capacity,” Dujarric stressed that “restoring this connection is vital for tens of thousands of families and children.”
Citing the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Dujarric also reported that all crossings into Gaza have been closed for cargo entry for nine consecutive days.
“The Kerem Shalom crossing also remains closed for the collection of cargo for the ninth straight day, which is severely impacting the delivery of humanitarian assistance across the Gaza Strip,” Dujarric said.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister of the Netherlands also termed Israel’s halt to humanitarian aid to Gaza against international law.
On the other hand, Yemeni Houthis have threatened that if Israel does not end the siege of Gaza, attacks in the Mediterranean will begin.
It should be noted that Israel also cut off Gaza’s power after aid, and Hamas termed the Israeli move as unacceptable blackmail.
