Recommendation 4

4 Paragraph: 27

Widespread destruction and poor infrastructure severely limit humanitarian aid operations in Gaza.

Conclusion
NGOs and UN organisations have explained how their operations are severely limited by the scale of destruction in Gaza. The infrastructure is poor and some roads are impassable - and the desperation of the inhabitants means journeys present many challenges for their staff. With almost two million people living around Rafah City, which is close to the only aid crossing - an area where previously 250,000 people were living - it is almost impossible to move aid further into the Gaza Strip.
