AID NOT ACCESSING to the PEOPLE in NEED in ISOLATED SOUTHERN TOWNS



"Our aid operation is like a patient starved of oxygen facing paralysis, verging on death" said Zlatan Milisic, World Food Program emergency co-coordinator in Lebanon. 



Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has meanwhile warned that hospitals in south Lebanon are running out of food, fuel and medical supplies. 


UN's top humanitarian official Jan Egeland noted: "It is a disgrace really. We have not had any access for many days to the besieged population of southern Lebanon" 
 

The relief group Mercy Corps said it was repositioning aid material closer to southern cities after having to call off convoys because their destinations were under attack.
