Challenges of delivering humanitarian relief in Gaza: UNRWA Senior Emergency Officer
Louise Wateridge, Senior Emergency Officer for UNRWA, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Al Nuseirat camp in Gaza. Wateridge outlined the pressing need for humanitarian supplies, mentioning that only a limited number of trucks are currently arriving – far below what’s necessary to meet the needs of the community. She highlighted the challenges in distribution, describing how essential supplies are in high demand across Gaza, where even the distribution of goods poses logistical and security risks due to ongoing bombings. As winter approaches, she ex-pressed deep concern over the increased demand for winter-specific aid, especially given UNRWA’s complex relationship with Israeli authorities, which limits operational cooperation. Despite these obstacles, Wateridge emphasized her team’s unwavering commitment to support the thousands of vulnerable people under their care, adding that they, too, are deeply affected by the escalating violence.
