The acting head of the United Nations humanitarian agency (OCHA), Joyce Masuya, on Thursday deplored the ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza and the obstacles to humanitarian aid efforts, and questioned: ‘Our basic What has become of humanity?’
“We cannot plan more than 24 hours in advance because we have difficulties knowing what supplies we will have, when we will have them or whether we will have them,” he said, according to the French news agency (AFP). Where can you deliver?
“Citizens are hungry,” he told the Security Council. They are thirsty, they are sick. They are homeless. They have been pushed beyond … what any human being can bear.’
Joice Masuya’s statement came as the United Nations had to halt the movement of aid and aid workers inside Gaza on Monday, as Israel ordered the withdrawal from the Deir al-Balah area, which is the UN workers’ base. It was the center.
He said that more than 88 percent of the territory of Gaza has come under the (Israeli) evacuation order at one time or another, adding that the citizens of the “uncertain situation” in the Gaza Strip should only be evacuated. 11 percent is being forced into the equivalent area.
He further said, ‘The evacuation orders are in violation of the requirements of international humanitarian law.’
The Palestinian group has come under increasing criticism for rising civilian deaths in Israel’s fight against Hamas, but international powers, including the United States, have so far failed to help negotiate a ceasefire.

It makes us wonder: Where has our basic humanity gone?
He called on the UN Security Council and the international community to use their influence to end the aggression and also called for the release of the Jois Masouya prisoners and a ‘permanent ceasefire in Gaza’.
