"Currently, there is only one route through Rafah from Egypt, and it is not enough to meet the needs of the Palestinians in Gaza," IRNA correspondent quoted Abdul Hakim Elwaer, FAO Assistant Director-General and Regional Representative for the Near East and North Africa as saying on Saturday.
He added that there is a very complicated process to deliver food [to Gaza] because of the limited clearance despite trucks are lined up at the border crossing.
The FAO official also highlighted “enormous challenges” the UN food agency has been facing with limited aid trucks entering and moving inside Gaza.
“Northern Gaza is still difficult to access and distribution there is not available due to the lack of infrastructure and proper warehouses where food can be stored”, Elwaer pointed.
The human rights groups and UN agencies have also repeatedly warned that incessant Israeli bombing and shilling of Gaza hamper aid delivery or even does not allow medics to reach the people in need of help.
Since the onset of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, the regime’s warplanes and artillery have targeted and destroyed critical infrastructures there turning residential buildings, warehouse, schools, religious places into the rubble.
The Zionist regime launched its war on the pretext of a surprise operation called "Al-Aqsa Storm" by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas over the regime’s decades of brutalities against the Palestinian nation.
The Gaza Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that the number of martyrs in Gaza since the beginning of the Israeli war has reached 28 thousand 858 while the number of wounded has reached 68 thousand 677 people.
