IDF Official Overseeing Transfer of Aid Says "No Food Shortage in Gaza"
(Times of Israel) Charlie Summers - The Israel Defense Forces unit overseeing the transport of humanitarian aid into Gaza said Wednesday there are no shortages of food and that existing problems were caused by the inability of the UN to properly distribute the goods inside Gaza. Speaking at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, which reopened last month, Col. Moshe Tetro, head of the IDF's Coordination and Liaison Administration to Gaza, said, "In terms of food, the reserves in Gaza are sufficient for the near term. However, if there are any organizations that would like to bring more food, we are happy to facilitate it." Tetro denied that any bottlenecks on the Israeli end were preventing aid from reaching Gaza, asserting that "the problem lies with the international organizations processing and receiving the aid."
