Corinne Fleischer, the Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at the World Food Programme, has remarked on the profound challenges faced by the agency in delivering adequate food supplies to the besieged coastal enclave.
During her recent visit to the Gaza Strip, Fleischer observed that the roads were heavily damaged and congested with people.
“Inside Gaza, the situation is extremely challenging due to the Israeli military evacuation orders, which not only impact countless individuals but also significantly disrupt our operations,” Fleischer remarked.
Speaking to Al Jazeera from Cairo, she said: “We have had to cancel or reduce the rations that we provide. We provide assistance to about one million people every month … but we don’t bring in enough.”
There are three reasons for that, said Fleischer, explaining, “First, there are not enough border crossing points open. Second, once we get through, there is a problem of law and order inside Gaza that makes us have to be very tactical [about] when do we bring food in so we aren’t getting looted. Thirdly, it’s a very complicated operation.”
