00:00Israel has continued to obstruct the humanitarian work of the United Nations in the Gaza Strip.
00:07Spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stefan Dujaric,
00:11says that the UN and its partners continue to send supplies to Kerem Shalom Crossing,
00:16where Israeli authorities scan them before they can enter Gaza.
00:21We and our partners continue to send supplies to Kerem Shalom Crossing,
00:25where Israeli authorities scan them before they can enter Gaza.
00:29For today, we submitted over 130 pre-cleared truckloads for a second and final Israeli clearance,
00:36but only 50 of them which were carrying flour were approved to enter the Israeli side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
00:44On Tuesday alone, six out of 13 UN aid shipment requests were denied, including the urgently needed fuel.
00:51The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that without immediate access to fuel,
00:58UN's essential services in Gaza could be forced to shut down.
