Louise Wateridge, senior communications officer at UNRWA, says Israel’s latest evacuation orders in Gaza have forced UN staff over the past 48 hours to move and “reconfigure operations”.

She told Al Jazeera from az-Zawayda in Gaza that UN operations have not stopped despite the huge challenges created by the Israeli forces imposing “new rules”.

“It is nothing short of a struggle to provide what people need here because we don’t have enough aid. We don’t have enough supplies coming in; we don’t have enough access to distribute to people,” Wateridge said.

“There are so many people dying in Gaza from things that can be treated, people can be saved, but we do not have the means to do this for them. We do not have the means to operate to our best ability.”
