Germany urges Israel to allow aid into flood-hit Gaza immediately

German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Reem Alabali Radovan said heavy rains had worsened Gaza’s already catastrophic conditions and urged Israel to immediately allow aid deliveries into the territory. The foreign ministers of the United Kingdom and Ireland also issued similar calls.

German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development Reem Alabali Radovan said heavy rains in Gaza had dramatically worsened already catastrophic living conditions, leaving many tents flooded. She said food stocks were extremely scarce and had spoiled and become moldy because of dampness and poor storage conditions, while floodwaters were carrying untreated wastewater into the streets and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks.

Radovan said, "The Israeli government must immediately allow the necessary supplies to enter Gaza. Food, shelter, repair materials, medicine and fuel for heating are urgently needed, and these supplies save lives."

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said in a video he shared at the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris that the humanitarian situation in Gaza was worsening, adding, "The UK government will not stand by." Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee also described Israel’s blocking of humanitarian aid as "unacceptable."

The UN said weekend rains damaged thousands of shelters, while stocks of tents, tarpaulins and blankets in Gaza had run out. More than 150,000 tents are outside Gaza, awaiting permission to enter.
