Israel expects to see ‘higher numbers’ of aid deliveries
Israel’s Deputy Permanent Representative, Brett Jonathan Miller, said Israeli authorities are working on opening more aid crossings, and its humanitarian efforts have already brought substantial improvements on the ground, with more than 25,000 trucks entering the enclave since October.
“We expect to see higher numbers in the future,” he said.
Raising other concerns, Mr. Miller said the “UN must find solutions” to logistical issues to keep pace with the speed Israel is clearing aid shipments. He also said the Council must “step up its own efforts” to bring home the 133 hostages held hostage since October.
