‘No food shortage in Gaza,’ Israeli official says

Sufficient aid is entering Gaza and there is no food shortage, an Israeli official says, according to Al Jazeera.

Moshe Tetro, with the Israeli defence body in charge of Palestinian civilian affairs, said Israel has been willing to increase the amount of aid entering Gaza. He blamed international aid groups for struggling to process and receive the humanitarian relief.

“The assessment we all, with the UN and other organisations, show there is sufficient aid. In terms of food, the reserves in the Gaza Strip are sufficient for the near term. There is no food shortage in Gaza,” Tetro said.
