However, very few trucks continue to reach the Gaza Strip and ongoing hostilities prevent safe, comprehensive aid distribution, according to these organizations.</p> <p>Meanwhile, the <strong>United Nations</strong> > warn of the dangers posed to health and the environment by the huge amounts of waste piled up in the Gaza Strip. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said yesterday that the waste – about 270,000 tonnes – could not be removed as many waste trucks in Gaza have been damaged by Israeli attacks or are out of fuel. In addition, the Israeli army has not given access to the main waste disposal site in the eastern part of Gaza City. The displacement of residents in the southern part of the Gaza Strip has resulted in the volume of waste there more than doubling, according to OCHA, while local authorities are unable to manage the problem.</p> <p><noindex></p> <div class=Source: 24h.com.cy
