Occupied Palestinian territory and Israel
Emergency Relief Coordinator Mark Lowcock yesterday released a statement on the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory and Israel, echoing the Secretary-General’s calls for the parties to stop the aerial and artillery bombardments and the indiscriminate launching of rockets, which have brought nothing but death, destruction and widespread trauma.
Mr. Lowcock called for funding for a speedy response and access to enable the humanitarian community to respond to the extent needed.
The oPt Humanitarian Fund is expected to release US$14 million towards the response, and the Secretary-General and Mr. Lowcock will be launching a fuller appeal soon.
