00:00An UNRWA's Commissioner General has warned about the cold, harsh winter people are facing

00:06and is asking for the green light to allow supplies into Gaza.

00:12UNRWA is still banned by Israel from bringing aid into the Strip.

00:18Do you think that this is likely to change and UNRWA will begin operations again in Gaza

00:24to help those people in desperate need, as the Commissioner said, especially in wintertime?

00:32It's becoming very clear to all parties, even, you know, the Americans also,

00:37that without UNRWA nothing will succeed inside Gaza.

00:40No organisation will be able to replace UNRWA in terms of its capacity,

00:45in terms of the logistic ability, you know, and to reach out to the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza.

00:52UNRWA has enough experience, has the data, the information, the logistic,

00:57and has everything that enable it from, you know, really coping and converting,

01:04you know, the critical situation in the Gaza Strip.

01:07Unfortunately, you know, right now we have 6,000 trucks, you know,

01:12we have food waiting at the gates of the Gaza Strip.

01:16You know, we have food will be enough for all Gaza for three months.

01:20We have hundreds of thousands of tents and all, you know, sheltering material also that

01:26if Israel allow all that material into Gaza, it will make, you know,

01:32like a dramatic change in the circumstances in Gaza.

01:35But right now, they did not allow, they don't allow us, you know, in fact.

01:40But we hope, we hope after shutting down this, the GHF and after the failure also of others,

01:48you know, and really, you know, coping of the disaster in Gaza,

01:53that it's clear for everyone that UNRWA must step in, especially in the food delivery

01:58and the sheltering, you know, sheltering materials that we have.

02:03We have bought with hundreds of millions of dollars.

02:06And it's, they are waiting at the gates of the Gaza Strip.

02:09But on the other hand, for education, for health, I think we are the main pillar

02:15in that we succeeded in, you know, absorbing 300,000 kids in our destroyed schools.

02:22In health also, we are receiving nearly 15,000 patients every day

02:27and giving them treatments.
