Humanitarian efforts in Gaza are being severely hampered as aid convoys, including a WHO-led convoy that was blocked 'the moment it left' Al Amal hospital, face systematic denial of access and come under fire from Israeli forces. Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the United Nations humanitarian office, emphasized that Israel has been systematically blocking sufficient aid from entering the Gaza Strip. Reports from various humanitarian organizations indicate a 'systemic denial' of access to both the northern and southern regions of Gaza, with convoys coming under Israeli gunfire. The UNRWA reported a significant reduction in supplies entering Gaza, with a 50% decrease compared to January. Additionally, 44% of UNRWA schools have been directly hit or damaged, further exacerbating the crisis.
