Ahmed Bayram of the Norwegian Refugee Council says the people of Gaza are suffering from a massive shortage of supplies.

“I think, at this rate, Israel is suffocating the support for these people,” he told Al Jazeera from Amman, adding that Gaza needs 25 supply trucks to enter each week instead of the “10 or 11” that bring aid into the enclave now.

“I think, at this rate, Israel is suffocating the support for these people,” Bayram said.

“It is not only constraining access, the roads and the safety of the people and the aid workers, but also there is a systematic attempt here to keep people in the cold and keep them starving,” he said, adding the aid community is frustrated about the situation.
