Cindy McCain, the executive director of the World Food Programme and the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain, says her organization needs better access to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
After a recent visit to Gaza, McCain told CNN that providing aid to the people there may become more difficult.
On Friday, Israel announced that it would end its daytime fighting pauses, which previously allowed humanitarian organizations like McCain’s to access the city.
“This is really at a critical phase right now. We need to get in. And famine and malnourishment both. It’s not just about food, it’s about water, it’s about medicine,” she said.
McCain said she needs improved access to address the humanitarian crisis there.
“And we need to get further in. I need more routes to be able to go, to get in. Not just the same two roads that we’ve been able to use. We need more routes, and of course, we need safe access,” she said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met with McCain during her recent trip, accused her of misrepresenting what she’d seen in Gaza.
