Martin Griffiths, the outgoing U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, expressed serious concerns about the security of the aid pier in Gaza. He mentioned that Hamas has been known to steal aid, but through negotiations, the aid has been successfully recovered. Griffiths acknowledged the high level of security risks in the area, especially for U.N. and World Food Program personnel who are involved in aid distribution. Despite the challenges, efforts are being made to ensure the safe delivery of aid. Griffiths emphasized the importance of securing all aid deliveries and mentioned that aid is also being delivered through other routes, such as the Erez crossing. Overall, efforts are being made to navigate the security concerns to provide assistance to those in need.
