Biden calls for humanitarian aid to be sent
The call for more humanitarian aid comes not only from the United Nations, but also from Joe Biden, an ally of Israel. “It is not fast enough,” Biden replied this Tuesday (24) to a journalist who asked him at the White House about the arrival of supplies to the Palestinian territory.
The US president said he had reached an agreement with Netanyahu on a steady flow of humanitarian aidwhich had not yet happened this Tuesday.
The United Nations warns that hospitals and water and food distribution could be suspended on Wednesday evening. This morning in Geneva, UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees spokeswoman Tamares Alrifai made it clear that the organization’s supplies are running out. For the company, what is available in the Gaza Strip could be exhausted by Wednesday evening.
Since October 7, 12 hospitals and 46 primary care clinics in Gaza have been forced to close due to damage or lack of power and supplies. The WHO (World Health Organization) documented 72 attacks on health services in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 16 deaths and 30 injuries to health workers on duty. The attacks affected 34 health facilities and 24 ambulances.
