UN aid chief slams Israeli-American Gaza aid plan as ‘cynical sideshow’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUnited Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher slams a plan by Israel and the United States for the distribution of aid in the Gaza Strip as a “cynical sideshow, a deliberate distraction, a fig leaf for further violence and displacement.”
He tells the UN Security Council that no food, medicine, water or tents have entered the war-torn enclave for more than 10 weeks.
“We can save hundreds of thousands of survivors. We have rigorous mechanisms to ensure our aid gets to civilians and not to Hamas, but Israel denies us access, placing the objective of depopulating Gaza before the lives of civilians,” claims Fletcher.
