This is coming after the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, tweeted on Saturday 23 March, 2024: “Today I saw long lines of blocked relief trucks waiting to be let into Gaza.
It’s time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid.
The choice is clear: surge or starvation.
Let’s choose the side of help, the side of hope & the right side of history.
“I will not give up.”
COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip), quoted Guterres’ tweet and commented: “Again, the @UN is deceiving. These trucks are waiting for inspection in Egypt and haven’t reached Israeli crossings. The UN must scale up logistics and stop blaming Israel for its own failures.
Btw, 142 aid trucks are still waiting for pick up by the UN on the Gazan side of KS.”
Then, the IDF quoted COGAT’s tweet and commented: “The @UN should not give up on making sure it scales up logistics and stops blaming Israel for its own failures.”
