We are back to the blaming game while the people of Gaza are starving and trying to survive heavy bombardments.
There are reports that 900 trucks were sent in the past two weeks.
That's just over 10 per cent of the daily needs of people in Gaza.
The aid that's being sent now makes a mockery of the mass tragedy unfolding under our watch.
During the ceasefire earlier this year - when bureaucratic and security restrictions were lifted by political will- the UN including UNRWA brought in 600 to 800 trucks a day.
No diversion of aid was reported.
This is how we collectively turned the tide and prevented a man made famine.
The current mass starvation can be stopped. It takes political will.
We are not asking for the impossible. Allow the UN including UNRWA and humanitarian partners to do our work: assist people in need and preserving their dignity.
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.
UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.
Your support is crucial to help us provide emergency aid
