Gaza Emergency Daily Report – 27 August 2014

Coordination/ Information Management/ GIS  The Logistics Cluster Gaza Emergency Access Constraints Map (25 August) is available on the Logistics Cluster website: http://logcluster.org/map/gaza-access-constraints-25-august-14  From 26 – 28 August, training for six staff members was held in preparation for the implementation of the standard Logistics Cluster Relief Item Tracking Application (RITA) which will be used to support the cargo tracking and reporting needs of the Logistics Cluster Gaza Emergency Operation. Logistics Gaps and Bottlenecks  Throughout the ceasefire, the Logistics Cluster continues to monitor the impact on logistics access constraints, and the security of humanitarian space for the transport and distribution of relief supplies.  Cargo transported via Betunia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is currently experiencing significant delays due to limited capacity, security equipment, variable cargo prioritisation procedures and limited opening hours. The Logistics Cluster is liaising with relevant authorities to ease bottlenecks and assess possible solutions.  Cargo transported via Tarqumia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is experiencing delays in cargo processing due to the increasing number of trucks and complex security procedures.  The Logistics Cluster is requesting a list of sector cargo priorities for the Gaza humanitarian response in the case that not all cargo requests can be delivered in a timely manner due to the security crossing process.  The Logistics Cluster is assessing partners’ needs to determine whether the Rafah crossing from Egypt into the Gaza Strip can be used on a more permanent basis to support the humanitarian community transport relief items following successful crossing of WFP trucks on 27 August.
