Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi says Israel is placing many obstacles to the entry of aid into Gaza that were worsening the plight of Palestinians.
In remarks during a press conference with his Australian counterpart, Safadi says these hurdles meant only 10% of the total needs of more than two million Gazans under siege were being covered.
Israel has said it is clearing aid to enter Gaza faster than the UN can clear and distribute it.
Israel has also allowed Jordan to airdrop aid into Gaza on several occasions.
