Israel Blocks UNRWA from Distributing Aid in Gaza as Palestinians Starve [View all]
We speak with Juliette Touma, director of communications at UNRWA, about deepening starvation in Gaza. Israel has accused the United Nations agency of failing to distribute aid in Gaza, but Touma says Israel continues to block most supplies from entering the territory. Touma notes that there are 6,000 trucks filled with food, medical supplies and other necessities ready to enter Gaza. "We've been waiting for a green light to start the wheels of those trucks for nearly five months now," she says.
