Red Cross head calls for immediate aid access into Gaza

The head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies pressed for immediate humanitarian access into Gaza amid reports of hypothermia-related deaths of newborns and infants.

“Recent UN reports of babies dying from hypothermia in Gaza underscore the critical severity of the humanitarian crisis there. I urgently reiterate my call to grant safe and unhindered access to humanitarians to let them provide life-saving assistance,” Jagan Chapagain said.

  • “Without safe access – children will freeze to death. Without safe access – families will starve. Without safe access – humanitarian workers can’t save lives.”
