Conditions will get ‘far worse’ as aid dries up in southern Gaza: UNRWA

Sam Rose, UNRWA’s director of planning, told Al Jazeera from Rafah that while the organisation has had some recent successes in bringing aid into northern Gaza, the gains have “reversed completely” in southern Gaza as Israel presses on with its offensive.
The closure of crossings has made it “nearly impossible” to bring aid into the south, said Rose, let alone in the volumes before the incursion. With more than half a million people on the move, it is also impossible to provide reliable water, sanitation or healthcare services that people there also need, he said.
“This is an increasingly urgent situation,” Rose added. “Unless we do something about it in the coming days, an already desperate situation will become far, far worse.”
