Gaza needs $300m 'quick win' in coming weeks, says senior UN official
Just read about Gaza's dire situation. A senior UN official says the focus needs to be on immediate 'quick wins' for people, not just big reconstruction plans. Gaza is described as 'basically rubble and tents'-worse than a refugee camp. There's a call for $300 million in the next few weeks for early recovery, but a huge obstacle is Israel blocking essential items like machinery and solar panels, claiming 'dual use.' Heartbreakingly, aid like shelters is stuck in warehouses in Jordan while people in Gaza are freezing. It's a stark reminder to not overlook the West Bank and East Jerusalem either. The UN's role, especially in delivering fuel (a lifeline for bakeries and hospitals), is irreplaceable.
