“Martin Griffiths, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, he says that three months since the horrific attacks of October 7th, Gaza has become a place of death and despair. He said the humanitarian community has been left with the impossible mission of supporting more than two million people, even as its own staff are being killed and displaced, as communication blackouts continue, as roads are damaged and convoys shot at, and as commercial supplies vital to survival of people there almost non-existent.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephanie Tremblay, Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“His Office today tells us that we and our partners continue to do all we can to meet the massive needs in Gaza. However, they say the current response is only meeting a fraction of people’s needs. On the food security front, our partners continue to do all they can to support people in Gaza, but they are constrained by security risks and mobility constraints.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Stephanie Tremblay, Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, United Nations:
“As the SG said, repeatedly, really, what is important is really to work towards the two-state solution, to have first the humanitarian ceasefire, to try to find a way to address the immense and growing needs of the population there. To facilitate the aid of humanitarian delivery, to release all the hostages, and to resume work seriously towards a two-state solution.”

Quoting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, a United Nations spokesperson today (5 Jan) said the humanitarian community in Gaza “has been left with the impossible mission of supporting more than two million people, even as its own staff are being killed and displaced, as communication blackouts continue, as roads are damaged and convoys shot at, and as commercial supplies vital to survival of people there almost non-existent.”
According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General Stephanie Tremblay said, the current humanitarian response “is only meeting a fraction of people’s needs.”
On the food security front, she said, “partners continue to do all they can to support people in Gaza, but they are constrained by security risks and mobility constraints.”
Asked about post-conflict governance plans for Gaza, Tremblay said, “as the SG said, repeatedly, really, what is important is really to work towards the two-state solution, to have first the humanitarian ceasefire, to try to find a way to address the immense and growing needs of the population there. To facilitate the aid of humanitarian delivery, to release all the hostages, and to resume work seriously towards a two-state solution.”
