Geneva, April 13 (RHC)-- The president of the Red Cross has warned its field hospital will run out of supplies within two weeks in the coastal enclave.  “We are now finding ourselves in a situation that I have to describe as hell on earth … People don’t have access to water, electricity, food, in many parts,” said Mirjana Spoljaric at the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva.

No new humanitarian supplies have entered the Palestinian enclave since Israel blocked the entry of all aid trucks on March 2nd.  “For six weeks, nothing has come in, so we will, in a couple of weeks’ time, run out of supplies that we need to keep the hospital going,” she said.

Spoljaric also raised concerns about the safety of humanitarian operations. “It is extremely dangerous for the population to move, but it’s especially also dangerous for us to operate.”
