Unrwa food boxes for Gaza distribution expiring in warehouses
2 June 2025 15:11 BST
Unrwa has said that boxes of food intended for distribution in Gaza, stored in the agency's Amman warehouse in Jordan, are approaching their expiry dates.
“We’re looking at boxes of food here which have been sitting here in some cases since January," Jonathan Fowler, Unrwa's senior communications manager, told NPR. "And unfortunately, their expiry dates are starting to approach."
The agency has been unable to distribute the aid due to Israel's ongoing blockade of Gaza.
“We’re looking at boxes of food here… some of it expiring in July,” UNRWA @UN_JWFOWLER tells @NPR at the UNRWA warehouse in Amman.
