On Wednesday, MSF expressed the use of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, which is deprived of vital supplies such as electricity and food.
“Once again, the Israeli authorities are taking advantage of the aid to a tool to negotiate. This is disgraceful. It is not permissible to use humanitarian aid a paper bargaining paper in the war, so the ban imposed on all supplies inevitably harm hundreds of thousands of people and has fatal consequences,” Miriam Al -Arousi said in a statement.
On March 2, Israel prevented humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip due to disputes with Hamas over the conditions for the continued ceasefire.
“Doctors Without Borders” confirmed that Israel’s electricity supplies’ cutting on Sunday forced the main water desalination plant to work with fuel, which led to a decrease in the production of drinking water from 17 million liters to 2.5 million per day.
“Therefore, the decision to cut electricity will affect acute and gradually affecting public water supply” in the sector, which includes 2.2 million people, suffering from a serious humanitarian crisis.
Israel is seeking to increase the pressure on Hamas before talks in Qatar regarding the continued fragile calm in Gaza, which came into effect on January 19, and allowed the exchange of Palestinians detained in Israel and the hostages that were kidnapped during the Hamas attack on the southern Hebrew state on October 7, 2023.
“Although more trucks entered during the ceasefire period,” Doctors Without Borders “said, but” the entry system of goods imposed by the Israeli authorities, which is used systematically to obstruct humanitarian aid, has made the expansion of our work significantly impossible, even before this siege. “
The last supplies that the “MSF” teams managed to deliver to Gaza were three trucks of medical supplies on February 27.
“After 15 months of bombing, displacement and diseases, relief efforts remained restricted by the requirements of the compulsory prior approval imposed by the Israeli authorities, otherwise the materials called double use are rejected,” the organization added.
“This non -transparent system hinders the entry of life -saving supplies, including scales, scissors, oxygen concentrations, desalination units and electricity generators. Even when the process ends with approval, it takes a long time and remains a complex bureaucratic obstacle,” she said.
