00:06But Israel is denying restricting food aid in Gaza and says it's not starving the people or killing them at aid sites.
00:17From what you've heard and witnessed, is Hamas and Palestinian militia groups stealing food?
00:25What's the truth on the ground?
00:26The truth is that only very limited few aid trucks are getting in, which is far beyond what we need.
00:35Even this very limited few trucks that is getting in, much of it or most of it get looted before even reaching those in need.
00:44We need unrestricted humanitarian access.
00:48We need safe, sustained, sufficient and massive humanitarian access.
00:53Not just trekkles of aid that doesn't even meet a fraction of the need.
01:00And every day, our hospitals, medical points, and even field hospitals are receiving dozens of people being killed or injured while they were waiting to receive aid.
01:13Two of my colleagues last week get killed when they were waiting to receive aid.
01:19Even humanitarian workers, doctors, nurses, everyone in Gaza is struggling to have access to food.
01:26It's almost impossible to find food or even to afford it.
