00:00How much aid is, in fact, getting through?

00:02Because it's sometimes really difficult to understand where we are with regards to blockades

00:06and, you know, we get told different things by different people.

00:09What's your understanding?

00:11Well, in terms of the amount of aid that's coming in through traditional humanitarian partners

00:15like the UN, like the Norwegian Refugee Council and other agencies like us,

00:21very little is getting in.

00:22It's basically the very basics of flour, some medicine or medical supplies,

00:28but very limited nutritional supplies.

00:32But in terms of the amount of aid that we have waiting, pre-positioned and waiting in Jordan,

00:39in Egypt and other places, the amount that's getting in is only a drop in the ocean of what's available.

00:47We desperately need Israel to open these crossings.

00:49As I'm sure your viewers know, there has been food distributions through an organization

00:54that does not adhere to humanitarian principles, where we've seen hundreds of people get shot

01:00and killed trying to make their way to receive that food.

01:04It should be noted, as we spoke about the water, that most of that food is dried goods,

01:08rice, lentils, pasta, things that also require water to be cooked.

01:13And so even that limited amount of food that's being distributed through those sites in ways

01:18that are forcing Palestinians to make decisions about whether to starve or risk their lives

01:25trying to get a meager amount of food, even that food will be of no use if there's no water

01:31in order to prepare and cook it.

01:34Let's remember.

01:39If this is neurological,sted update 너희ans and Peter llopeanaat,

01:42let's look at that quickly at this point.

01:44To make counsel on this point, let's always look at the wild-class cult,

01:47let's take three decades back of the events.

01:49Let's take a minute here, it's just incredibly easy in defense.

01:53Tell your friends, Jared?

01:55Have a wonderful life-indark though.

01:58Do not see what's available in Japan.
