The UN World Food Program (WFP) Country Director in Palestine, Matthew Hollingworth, on Friday emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire, saying that their calls for action in Gaza are not being heeded, Anadolu Agency reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking in a virtual news conference, Hollingworth said: \u201cCalls to action (for Gaza) have predominantly been going to deaf ears. But fundamentally what we need, of course, is an immediate ceasefire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that the \u201cexodus we have seen in the past 20 days or so out of Rafah has been a horrific experience for many people\u201d, Hollingworth noted that there is a severe shortage of water, medical supplies, fuel and food in places people have fled to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollingworth said that the public health situation in these areas is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cbeyond crisis level. The everyday life is terrific and apocalyptic. People sleep to the sounds of bombing, they sleep to the sounds of drones, they sleep to the sounds of war\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On claims of Hamas looting UN aid, Hollingworth said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have not seen Hamas or the de-facto authority taking assistance from the World Food Program or other UN organizations\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to Anadolu\u2019s question on the non-functionality of US\u2019s floating dock in Gaza, Hollingworth recalled that the UN had voiced numerous concerns even before the floating dock became operational, and during its operational period, they managed to distribute less than a thousand tons of aid .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying that although the aid was minimal, Hollingworth said it was life-saving, and coordination with Israeli officials improved during the floating dock\u2019s operational period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasised that the floating dock could be \u201cworth the investment\u201d if it could supplement the physical delivery from land corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollingworth mentioned that the World Food Program alone delivered 20,000 tons of aid in April and that approximately 45,000 tons of aid is needed monthly in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
