The first aid in 11 weeks delivered to Gazans includes nutrition supplies, flour, medicines and other critical goods, UN humanitarians said Thursday. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said about 90 trucks loaded at the Kerem Shalom/Karem Abu Salem checkpoint headed for multiple destinations, carrying the supplies to Gazans facing the threat of famine. OCHA said nearly 20 truckloads, carrying about 500 pallets of nutrition supplies, were safely offloaded in UNICEF's warehouse in Deir al Balah. The material delivered includes ready-to-use therapeutic food and lipid-based nutritional supplements. The life-saving supplies are being unpacked and repackaged into smaller loads to dozens of distribution points. A handful of bakeries in southern and central Gaza, supported by the World Food Programme (WFP), have resumed bread production. These bakeries are now operational and distributing bread through community kitchens. "The bakery had been shut down for two months due to the blockade. Last night, we received a flour supply from the World Food Programme. We are now working around the clock to produce bread for the citizens. The World Food Programme will handle the distribution process," said Ahmed Al-Banna, owner of Al-Banna Bakery in central Gaza. However, after nearly 80 days of a total blockade on humanitarian assistance, families still face a high risk of famine, and significantly more aid is needed across all of Gaza. According to the WFP, it is hoped that the amount of flour will reach the northern Gaza Strip, where small portions will be distributed to displaced people at certain points. However, these small amounts will not be sufficient to assist the large number of people in the Gaza Strip. "Finally, the crossings have opened and we are able to bring humanitarian aid in the Strip. We as WFP bring the wheat flour and then we are distributing it through the bakeries, we bake the bread as you see and then we're distributing it, through our networks of NGOs and hot meal kitchens to the people that need it most. After almost two years of war, the humanitarian situation is certainly dire. It is important, almost 2.2 million people in Gaza, almost the entire population is dependent on humanitarian aid and as you well know that the commercial goods are not entering lately so it is important that the crossings remain open, that there is a constant flow of humanitarian aid," said Vladimir Jovcev, a Chief Logistics at World Food Programme.
