\nThe United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) said Tuesday that Israel continued to impose illegal restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.<\/p>\n
“Israel continues to impose illegal restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid and carry out widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure,” UN Human Rights Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said, reiterating a call for unfettered access of aid.<\/p>\n
The spokeswoman stressed that those who provide humanitarian assistance or try to get it must not be targeted.<\/p>\n
Israel has been facing rising international pressure to allow more aid into the Gaza Strip since it bombed an aid convoy on April 1 killing international aid workers.<\/p>\n
United Nations agencies reiterated that aid is still far below levels needed to meet basic needs in Gaza, despite Israel’s assertions that it has increased over the past few days.<\/p>\n
