HUMANITARIAN GROUPS CALL FOR UNRESTRICTED AID ACCESS IN GAZA



Humanitarian groups, including ActionAid, have called for access routes to Gaza to be opened

GAZA STRIP CHILDRENOn September 3rd humanitarian organisations, including ActionAid, asked for unlimited access for delivery of equipment required for water and sanitation in Gaza.

Since 2007 Gaza crossings have been nearly completely closed, disallowing entry for construction supplies and water operations to the Gaza strip, initiating the decline of critical services.

Richard Sandison, ActionAid’s Gaza Emergency Program Manager, explained:


“ActionAid’s ability to effectively support communities in Gaza is hampered while people’s access to clean water and sanitation services is limited. ActionAid’s livelihood recovery programmes, predominantly in the agricultural sector, are severely restricted while farmers do not have sufficient water and people are unable to grow adequate food supplies and source clean water for consumption.

“Up to 60 per cent of the people and communities with which ActionAid works are in the agricultural sector. They are struggling to grow essential crops and vegetables and raise livestock for consumption and income. The social and economic recovery of Gaza is an illusion without clean and safe water and sanitation services.”
