NEW YORK, (PIC)
The United Nations will resume its nighttime aid operations in Gaza on Thursday after pausing them for 48 hours following Israel’s Monday night strikes that killed seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen.
“We had to pause, regroup, and reassess all sorts of factors. There is, I’m told, the convoy heading out tonight, which will hopefully make it to the north,” UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said.
According to Dujarric, the World Health Organization reached two hospitals in Gaza City on Thursday.
WHO teams have spoken to patients at Al Shifa Hospital, but have not yet been able to travel there. Patients described dire conditions during the Israel army’s operation at Al Shifa with no food, water or medicine available, according to the WHO, he added.
