Gazans desperately need food, water – ‘they’re getting bombs’: UN

The UN on Tuesday accused Israel of trying to “weaponise” the flow of aid into Gaza, leaving the population desperate for food and water while delivering them “bombs” instead. The United Nations’ humanitarian agency OCHA decried the worsening situation in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory after nearly nine weeks of a total Israeli blockade on Gaza. “The bottom line is that there’s no aid to distribute anymore because the aid operation has been strangled… There’s no more to give,” OCHA spokesman Jens Laerke told reporters in Geneva.
