Doha: UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini stressed Tuesday the need for continued entry of humanitarian aid and basic services to the Gaza Strip residents: The decision of Israel to stop aid into Gaza threatens the lives of civilians exhausted by 16 months of brutal war. Humanitarian aid must continue to flow at scale similar to what we've seen over the past six weeks when the ceasefire began," he posted on X. "Lifesaving water + hospitals and health centers and electricity are essential to complement basic food assistance. Aid and these basic services are nonnegotiable".

According to Qatar News Agency, on Sunday, the Israeli occupation blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip until further notice.
