While the United Nations welcomed Israel’s announced “tactical pause” along a southern Gaza aid corridor, it said more “concrete measures” are needed to facilitate aid entry for a depleted population, Al Jazeera reports.
“This has yet to translate into more aid reaching people in need,” Jens Laerke, spokesman for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told AFP via email.
“We hope this leads to further concrete measures by Israel to address longstanding issues preventing a meaningful humanitarian response in Gaza.”
