Despite Israel letting a trickle of aid into Gaza after blocking it for over two months, as yet no humanitarian aid has actually been distributed in the embattled enclave, according to the UN.
"Today one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Kareem Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
"So just to make it clear, while more supplies have come into Gaza, we have not been able to secure the arrival of those supplies into our warehouses and delivery points."
He said the aid is being kept at the loading dock due to a complex process: “Things have to cross the fence from Israel into Gaza, into an area where the trucks have to be unloaded and reloaded, and then we have to get permission from the Israeli security forces to bring our people in to pick up those trucks."
