Ahmed Bayram, spokesperson for the Norwegian Refugee Council, says they have not had “any supplies” make it through the crossings into Gaza for the past month.

“We’re relying on our ever-depleting resources on the ground. It’s nowhere near enough, [we] had big promises of more aid, for [the] safety of our aid workers which my team in Gaza describe as a big fallacy,” Bayram told Al Jazeera.

“The closure of the nine possible potential crossings is a catastrophe […] we hear on a daily basis from our teams that children are sleeping on the sands because there are no tents left, they are drinking unsafe water all day long and they are eating very very little,” he said.
