6. SOUNDBITE (English) Jonathan Whittall, Interim Head of Office, OCHA OPT:
“We've managed - We've managed to reach Jabalya today in the north of Gaza, together with WHO and WFP – WHO is bringing supplies. Indonesian hospital is not functioning as a hospital. All around us, fighting is ongoing. We've been trying to reach the north of Gaza 140 times in the last two months. Every time it has been denied. People here have no food, no water, sanitation, nothing. Yesterday [hospital] Kamal Adwan came under attack. People were brought to Indonesian hospital where - it is a non-functioning hospital. WHO, together with PRCS, is referring some patients today out to Shifa hospital. But there are still people in this area. There are still people in Jabalya in the north. They need access. They need us to be able to reach them. We need to be able to reach people wherever they are. That's not negotiable. We need to be able to provide the basics for survival. Food, water, health care. These atrocities need to end. Around me there's nothing but rubble and destruction. People don't know what to do, don't know where to go. And they don't know how to survive.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Sara Al-Saqqa, OCHA Gaza:
“We have been told by the staff that their families are still at the North, and that their friends are still here, and their relatives are still here, and that they don't want to evacuate. They want to serve them. They want to find a place for them to treat their patients. They want the support to rehabilitate the hospital. We have listened to the patients here who have been evacuated from the hospital to another telling us how dire, how hard was it on them to leave the Kamal Adwan hospital and come to Indonesian hospital - and they're fearing that this would be, that this would push them to Gaza City or to the south. They wanted to stay because their family is still here. Their relatives are still here. People are still here. And we should have access to reach those people. We should be able to come out of the situation. We should be able to deliver food and supplies. We should be able to rehabilitate hospitals and support the healthcare system. This is a pattern that we have been seeing over and over for the past 14 months. Areas become besieged for a while with no access to humanitarian, with no access to healthcare, and no access to food or, medical supplies. This is not acceptable. And we have been trying for the past three months to come and reach the north – Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun and Jabalya and we couldn’t. We have been denied one time after another.”
