‘Impossible to find warehouses for aid in Gaza’: Refugees International chief

Jeremy Konyndyk says the deteriorating humanitarian situation in central and southern Gaza has been made worse because it is now “almost impossible” for humanitarian organisations to find warehouses, after many had been destroyed.

Last week, Humanity & Inclusion (HI), an organisation that provides humanitarian relief for people with disabilities, said its warehouse in Rafah was “completely bulldozed” by the Israeli army, destroying all of the humanitarian and medical supplies inside.

HI, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, said it “strongly condemned” the Israeli army’s actions and that it was “extremely concerned that attacks against humanitarian facilities and operations are becoming a pattern despite proper notification to the Israeli authorities”.
