Ramallah.. Prime Minister discusses Gaza aid crisis with UN official

Palestine – Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa discussed, today, Sunday, with the United Nations Senior Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction in Gaza, Sigrid Kaag, ways to increase the entry of aid to all parts of the Strip.

This came during his reception of the UN official in his office in Ramallah, according to a statement distributed by his office to journalists.

The statement added that Mustafa discussed “enhancing relief and humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip, increasing the entry of aid and ensuring its access to all parts of the Strip, in the presence of Minister of Social Development Samah Hamad.”

The Palestinian Prime Minister stressed “the need to exert all efforts and contacts since the first day to stop the war of extermination once morest our people in the Gaza Strip, and to coordinate with all international parties, headed by the United Nations, in order to provide all urgent relief and humanitarian needs.”

He said, “The Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian state, and the Palestinian Authority has been responsible since its establishment for providing services to our people in the Strip, especially health, education, infrastructure, and other services.”

For her part, Kaag stressed “the continuation of coordination, joint work and support for the efforts of the Palestinian government to meet the urgent relief and humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip.”

Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza with American support, leaving more than 128,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing amid massive destruction and famine that has claimed the lives of dozens of children.

Tel Aviv also continues to close the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, and the Kerem Shalom crossing, to relief aid since last May, which has exacerbated the deterioration of the living and humanitarian conditions of the residents of the Gaza Strip.

Israel continues its war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate halt, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
