The spokesperson of the UN agency for Palestinians has said that the existing crossings, Karem Abu Salem and Rafah from Egypt, are the most straightforward way of getting aid into the Gaza Strip.
While speaking to Al Jazeera on the reported plans of a maritime corridor to bring humanitarian assistance into the bombarded territory, Tamara Alrifai said instead of trying to “reinvent the wheel” the aid should come through channels which already exist and have worked before.
Alrifai stressed that there are “constant requests for a ceasefire that would allow an influx of humanitarian assistance”.
