The United Nations health agency has deplored the lack of access to Gaza for the delivery of much-needed humanitarian assistance, amid intense bombardment in the southern part of the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The World Health Organisation Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus said during a news conference on Wednesday in Geneva that delivering aid to Gaza continues to face near insurmountable challenges.
He said there are supplies, the teams and the plans in place but no access, stressing that the UN and its partners remained completely ready to deliver assistance to Gaza Palestinians.
Israeli authorities have repeatedly refused to allow UN aid teams to deliver desperately needed humanitarian relief inside Gaza, effectively cutting off hospitals and residents from lifesaving medical supplies.
