Aid organizations call for massive scale-up of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza
The International Rescue Committee and Doctors Without Borders both called for increased amounts of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza immediately on Friday now that the first phase of the ceasefire deal has been agreed upon and gone into effect.
The IRC said they have "more than 5 tons of life-saving medical supplies," ready and waiting to enter Gaza as soon as it is allowed.
"After months of a near-total Israeli siege, the most basic necessities are still urgently needed in Gaza: medical equipment, medicines, food, water, fuel, and adequate shelter for 2 million people who will face the approaching winter without roofs over their heads," Doctors Without Borders said in a statement Friday.
"This ceasefire must be accompanied by an immediate massive and sustained scale-up of aid into and across the Strip, including the north," the organization added.
