Former UNRWA spokesperson calls for Gaza’s land crossings to be open ’24/7′
Former UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness says Israel announced its “tactical pauses” for humanitarian purposes because the “horses of genocide and ethnic cleansing” have left the stables.

“Gaza’s land borders must immediately be opened 24/7, making these undignified airdrops unnecessary. Let’s not forget that over 100 people have been starved to death by Israel. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu must face international justice for the crime of starvation,” Gunness told Al Jazeera.

Gunness explained that Israel implements “huge obstacles” to the UN and other aid agencies.

“Israel has shown itself, time and time again, to say it’s going to be letting in aid. Then of course, it gets delayed, they get rerouted, the convoys get shot at. Once they arrive, the warehouses and the food distribution services and centres have been destroyed and damaged by Israel,” he added.

A ten-hour "tactical pause" is useless when the conditions are so horrible. It's a fig-leaf at best, an evil charade at worst.

Further, it takes 160 air drops to provide a single meal for the entire population.
