‘The system works, but it’s not being implemented’: UNICEF

Tess Ingram, spokesperson for UNICEF, says the opening of an additional aid route is key to assisting people in northern Gaza, but a notification and coordination system must also be implemented. “When we go on a mission, we coordinate with Israel to make sure that they know where we are going and what we are doing and that helps them to follow international humanitarian law and protect us, but at the moment, that system is clearly broken,” Ingram told Al Jazeera from Rafah, in the south of the Strip. Ingram said the process works in other conflicts around the world, but in Gaza, it’s not being implemented. “We go on a mission where we are told we would be safe and then we are delayed for hours, our staff is interrogated, they are put in harm’s way or they are killed and that’s not acceptable,” she said.
