Israeli aid system ‘inhumane, ineffective, and dangerous’, says UK representative to UN | BBC News


Dame Barbara Woodward, the representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations, has described Israel’s aid system in Gaza as “inhumane, ineffective, dangerous and fuelling instability” at a UN Security Council meeting in New York.

More than 100 aid agencies, including Save the Children and Médecins Sans Frontières, have released a joint statement "sounding the alarm" over what they say is "mass starvation" across Gaza.

The UN says Israel, as the occupying power, has an obligation under international law to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches all the population in need.
Israel insists it acts in accordance with international law and facilitates the entry of aid while ensuring it does not reach Hamas.
It has acknowledged recently that there has been a significant drop in supplies reaching Palestinians but blamed UN agencies.
