Water aid for Gaza literally ‘a drop in the ocean’: UNICEF

The 40,000 litres of drinking water trucked into Gaza on Saturday represent ‘a drop in the ocean’, considering the immense needs following two weeks of conflict.

That’s the assessment of Jeremy Hopkins, Representative of the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Egypt, speaking hours after a humanitarian convoy crossed the border with lifesaving supplies – the first since the current crisis erupted two weeks ago.

UN News’s Khaled Mohamed asked him about the prospect for more convoys and the arrangements for delivering aid across Gaza amid the conflict.
