Secretary General Spokesman Stefan Dugarik said in a statement that previously implemented restrictions have delayed the entry of essential food, medical supplies, hygiene products and shelter supplies into Gaza, and the restrictions announced this time will further exacerbate the humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinians.
