Help agencies say they would like to provide help, but that Israel has shown the process with delays and denials, changing schedules and routes, sometimes at the last minute, which makes distribution aid difficult or impossible to recover.
Half of the 138 requests from the global food program made last week to receive the help of detention sites was refused, the agency announced on Friday.
Even after being approved to charge the aid, WFP said that “convoys are generally delayed” and take up to 46 hours before receiving final approval to travel along the band.
Israel has long argued that restrictions are in place to prevent Hamas from stealing food, although an analysis of the internal American government quoted by Reuters has found no evidence that there was a systematic flight of Hamas supplies in the last 20 months.
WFP said on Friday that he had 300 aid trucks while waiting to be distributed inside Gaza, and UNRWA said that he had around 6,000 aid trucks in Jordan and Egypt that is also waiting to be approved.
“Allow the UN, including UNRWA and our partners to operate on a large scale and without bureaucratic or political obstacles,” Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA commissioner said on Saturday on Saturday Publish.
Lazzarini also criticized Israel for authorizing the aidrops of aid by foreign countries, calling it “distraction and scispture”.

Delayed convins
Each delayed convoy means more and more and more desperate of people who gather along the known aid delivery routes, waiting to intercept incoming trucks. It led people to move Help trucks, which say agencies, represent a danger to their workers.
“During these delays, crowds of hungry people often anticipate the arrival of our trucks and meet along the expected transport routes which are too rare,” said WFP.
Israeli troops have Pulled on the collection of crowdsAnd the number of people killed in these distinct but regular incidents have totaled more than 1000, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said Wednesday. Incidents close to distribution sites led by the United States and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation supported by the United States was particularly violent.
UM Saeed al-Reefi had walked to a distribution Site near Rafah on Thursday and spoke to the NBC News team on the ground, always holding its empty bags.
“I just want to feed something to my daughter. But they attacked us-spray, balls, gas, gas. I could not breathe. I ran for my life. I came back, as you see … empty-handed,” she said. NBC News did not independently verify his story of the attack.
On Friday, at least 16 people were killed in the northwest of Gaza City while waiting for help, said Dr. Khalil al-Daqran, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health of Gaza in NBC News.
“What is missing at the moment is safe and sustained access,” the United Nations Bureau for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said on Friday. “Workers are faced with a constant danger, the passages are not reliable and the critical elements are regularly blocked,” he said.
The distribution of aid to Gaza has not always been as deficient or fatal.
Last year, when the aid was released through Rafah crossing the Egyptian border, delivery, although sparse, was regular and the United Nations agencies, mainly UNRWA, were able to distribute the aid without generalized attacks or looting.
The Gaza police were also more present and ensured security, but months of Israeli bombing paralyzed the police and increased despair among the public.
