Gaza City : A United Nations aid agency whose supply lines have been cut off couldn’t help Gaza residents seeking humanitarian assistance Saturday, UN Relief and Works Agency spokesman Christopher Gunness said.
It was not clear how many people were turned away Saturday.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on Israel “to allow urgently, the steady and sufficient supply of fuel and humanitarian assistance,” according to a statement from the UN chief’s spokesman.
“Ban also calls on Israel to resume facilitating the activities of UNRWA and all humanitarian agencies, including through unimpeded access for UN officials and humanitarian workers,” the statement said.
Israel carried out an air strike on northern Gaza early Friday killing two Palestinians.
Five others were wounded in Israeli air raid, Palestinian security forces said.
