Gaza Emergency Daily Report – 20 August 2014

Logistics Gaps or Bottlenecks  Cargo transported via the Betunia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is currently experiencing delays due to limited capacity and security equipment, variable cargo prioritisation procedures and the limited opening hours. The Logistics Cluster is liaising with relevant authorities to ease bottlenecks and investigate possible solutions.  The Tarqumia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is also 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.  Negotiations regarding humanitarian access through the Rafah crossing from Egypt to the Gaza Strip are developing. Possible coordination with the Egyptian Red Crescent Society to send shipments from Egypt into the Gaza Strip may begin next week.
