The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has reported significant challenges in delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, citing ongoing delays despite increased efforts to provide assistance. These delays are hindering aid workers from reaching those in need, worsening the already dire situation in the region.
The PRCS stated that aid convoys face difficulties in accessing designated areas and crossing checkpoints. The organization emphasized that this is happening even with prior coordination with the relevant authorities.
The organization has repeatedly warned about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stressing that the situation is rapidly deteriorating due to the lack of essential supplies such as food, water, and medical provisions.
Aid workers say that the delay in delivery is greatly impacting the health and safety of civilians in Gaza, particularly vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly.
The Red Crescent continues to call for improved access and the facilitation of aid deliveries to ensure timely and adequate assistance reaches the people of Gaza. They have requested that all parties involved work to remove obstacles and expedite the delivery process.
