UN 'not pulling out of Gaza,' says spokesman

NEW YORK, Thursday, June 27, 2024 (WAFA) - UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric  said that the UN is not pulling out of Gaza, rejecting claims of what was said earlier.

'We're just trying to find the space in which we operate within conditions that meet our very basic and pretty simple standards'' Dujarric told journalists.

He added that the UN is trying to distribute aid at great risk, and no progress has been made so far regarding the improvements they have requested from Israel.

In response to circulating news that the United Nations will suspend the distribution of aid if Israel does not respond to its demands, Dujarric said: “We are not pulling ouf of Gaza.”

He explained that the UN is trying over time to distribute aid in a narrow environment, pointing out that the UN demands are basically very simple.

Dujarric stated that they are not working under the protection of the Israeli army, stressing that they have tried different methods of distributing aid.

He added: "The only way to success is a ceasefire," reiterating his emphasis on the need not to impede the arrival of humanitarian aid.
