UN: Humanitarian system in Gaza facing 'total collapse'
27 October 2023 17:37 BST
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the UN will not be able to continue delivering aid without an immediate and fundamental shift in how aid goes into Gaza.
Speaking on Friday Guterres said the collapse of Gaza’s humanitarian safety net will have “unimaginable consequences” for more than two million civilians.
Guterres added that before the war 500 trucks would cross into Gaza in a single day but since the conflict an average of just 12 trucks a day entered the besieged enclave.
The World Health Organization said on Friday that it urgently needs an estimated $80 million to respond to humanitarian needs in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
