The Humanitarian Coordinator for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Dr. Ramiz Alakbarov – together with Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator Suzanna Tkalec – led a virtual diplomatic field visit to one of the displacement sites in Al Mawasi, Khan Younis, in the?Gaza Strip.

The visit was attended through a video link by members of a dozen diplomatic missions who observed the living conditions and relief efforts at the site. They interacted with displaced children and adults, as well as aid workers. Diplomatic missions have not been allowed into Gaza since October 2023.

At a distribution point within the site, diplomats joining the virtual visit saw how community members – including children – collected water carried by truck. This project is operated by a local partner and funded by the OPT Humanitarian Fund. Displaced people told the diplomats that they need sustainable water services, especially during hot summer days, as well as cash-for-work opportunities to feed their families.

Participants in the virtual visit were also led through hundreds of tents crammed along the shoreline.

Dr. Alakbarov thanked participants for their financial support for relief efforts, indicating that more is needed to sustain and scale up operations, including funding and political action to unblock persistent impediments.

Earlier today, in Deir al Balah, Dr. Alakbarov met with heads of humanitarian agencies to discuss relief efforts and challenges. In the afternoon, he visited the Emirati Hospital in Rafah.

Meanwhile, WHO said today in a??that it is providing specialized feeding bottles to help 45 babies who have a condition preventing normal breastfeeding.
