A Catholic Relief Services (CRS) official told CNA this week that the organization has been unable to get humanitarian supplies through the southern Gaza Strip since early May and that it no longer has supplies in the warehouses in the area.
“Most of the aid crosses through Rafah, and the Rafah crossing has been closed since early May because of the military operations there,” spokeswoman Megan Gilbert told CNA in an email.
“We’ve not had any CRS goods enter the south half of Gaza since May 6,” she explained. “Not into Rafah or Kerem Shalom.”
“We are getting trucks (over 50 so far) into the north half of Gaza since Erez West opened,” she said. “Those trucks contained ready-to-eat food, hygiene kits, bedding kits, and emergency shelter items.”
