On Monday, the organization 'Doctors Without Borders' announced that since the beginning of this year, it has been unable to deliver any humanitarian aid or supplies to the Gaza Strip due to Israeli restrictions, despite the ceasefire agreement being in effect in the region. The organization's Secretary-General, Christopher Lockier, stated that the 'catastrophic' humanitarian situation continues in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. He also emphasized the rise in infectious diseases as more than 18,000 people await medical evacuation. Lockier pointed out that humanitarian needs are 'enormous' and stressed that what is required is not a reduction, but a significant increase in the humanitarian response. He noted that winter conditions have exacerbated the chronic health problems of Palestinians in Gaza.
