      #Gaza: an entire population depends on humanitarian assistance for survival. Very little comes in & restrictions increase.

      A truck loaded with aid has just been turned back because it had scissors used in children’s medical kits.

      Medical scissors are now added to a long list of banned items the Israeli Authorities classify as “for dual use”. The list includes basic and lifesaving items: from anesthetics, solar lights, oxygen cylinders and ventilators, to water cleaning tablets, cancer medicines and maternity kits.

      The clearance of humanitarian supplies + the delivery of basic & critical items need to be facilitated & accelerated.
