UNICEF spokesman James Elder said that after careful analysis, it appears that the design of the plan presented by Israel to the humanitarian community will increase the suffering of children and families in Gaza and violates basic humanitarian principles, including through "the use of facial recognition technology as a precondition for aid access."
Elder said that the only thing entering Gaza now "is bombs," and that everything necessary for children's survival has been banned, in many ways.
He also emphasized that using humanitarian aid as a bait to force displacement, especially from north to south, will create an impossible choice between displacement and death.
Juliet Touma, Director of Communications and Information at UNRWA, said that death follows the people of Gaza wherever they go. There is no safe place in Gaza.
