Emergency aid for Gaza’s Palestinians held up in Israel due to Lebanon conflict – Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

18 August 2006 <\/i><\/span>– <\/i><\/span>Hundreds of containers full of food for Palestinians in Gaza are still being held up in the Israeli port of Ashdod because of a backlog caused by the recent conflict in Lebanon that closed the port of Haifa, the United Nations said today. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA) reports that nearly 300 containers with emergency food for Gaza are stuck on ships in Ashdod, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“That backlog is connected to the fact that a lot of these containers had to be redirected there from Haifa, which had been closed due to the fighting. Currently, some 830,000 people rely on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA's Gaza food distributions.” <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA School at Rafah is also still providing shelter for 340 internally displaced Palestinians who fled Israeli shelling in southern Gaza, he added. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Also on the humanitarian front, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Children’s Fund (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF) has secured vaccines for Palestinian children through 2007, as well as education supplies for its back-to-school campaign. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF has also provided eight generators and five water tankers to its humanitarian partners in Gaza, and stepped up its mine-awareness education and psychosocial assistance programmes, Mr. Dujarric said.<\/p><\/div>\n
