The program foresees the sending of 170 thousand tons of supplies. According to the United Nations, hundreds of trucks per day will be mobilized to serve the territory’s residents, who have been facing restrictions imposed by Israel on access to food and medicine for months. “Our supplies, 170,000 tonnes of food, medicine and other items, are available. Our brave, experienced and determined teams are prepared,” said Tom Fletcher, UN humanitarian chief. “Hunger must be reversed where it has taken root, and prevented elsewhere,” Fletcher added. The plan provides food assistance for 2.1 million people and specific nutritional support for 500,000 in situations of severe malnutrition. It also includes providing resources for bakeries, community kitchens and cash transfers to 200,000 families to purchase food. The UN also intends to offer water and sanitation services to 1.4 million people. “We will help repair the distribution network, fix leaks and collect waste from residential areas,” Fletcher said. Health, education and shelters EU discusses how to contribute to peace in the Gaza Strip and reconstruction of the region The UN plan includes the recovery of Gaza’s health system, with the sending of equipment and medicines, expansion of medical evacuations and reinforcement of basic care and mental health. Thousands of campaign tents and the reopening of temporary educational centers for 700,000 children are also planned. To implement the actions, the UN says it needs “ten basic conditions”. Among them, the entry of 1.9 million liters of fuel per week, the restoration of cooking gas and the opening of all border posts with more scanners to speed up inspections and guarantee security. Fletcher stated that only 28% of the US$4 billion (R$21 billion) humanitarian plan planned for 2025 has been financed so far. He warned that the 170,000 tons of aid available, stored in Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Cyprus, will not be enough in the short term. “Let’s be clear: this problem will not disappear in two months,” he said.
