UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric made remarks about the situation in Gaza during the daily press conference.
Dujarric explained that the Egyptian government accepted the support of a UN technical delegation regarding humanitarian aid to Gaza, and pointed out that the entry points for aid on the Israeli side are still closed.
“Overcrowding in UN facilities in Gaza remains a major problem,” Dujarric said, adding that there is only one toilet for every 600 people at the Khan Yunis training center, where 22,000 people have taken refuge.
