00:00More than an entire month has passed without a drop of aid into Gaza.
00:06No food, no fuel, no medicine, no commercial supplies.
00:13As aid has dried up, the floodgates of horror have reopened.
00:19Gaza is a killing field and civilians are in an endless death loop.
00:24UN agencies and our partners are ready and determined to deliver.
00:30But Israeli authorities' newly proposed authorization mechanisms for aid delivery
00:36risk further controlling and callously limiting aid down to the last calorie and grain of flour.
00:46Let me be clear.
00:47We will not participate in any arrangement that does not fully respect the humanitarian principles.
00:55Humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality.
01:01Any impeded humanitarian access must be guaranteed and humanitarian personnel must be given the protection that they are accorded under international law.
01:12In times like these, we must be crystal clear.
01:17Clear about the situation.
01:18With crossing points into Gaza shut and aid blockaded, security is in shambles and our capacity to deliver has been strangled.
01:29And as the heads of UN humanitarian organizations declared in a joint statement yesterday, and I quote,
01:35Assertions that there is no enough food to feed all Palestinians in Gaza are far from the reality on the ground, and commodities are running extremely low.
01:52End of quote.
01:52We must also be clear about the obligations as the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
