Gaza Emergency Daily Report – 31 August 2014

Logistics Gaps and Bottlenecks  The Logistics Cluster continues to monitor the impact of the ceasefire on logistics access constraints and the security of humanitarian space for the transportation and distribution of relief supplies.  Cargo transported via Betunia crossing from the West Bank into Israel is currently experiencing significant delays due to capacity limitations. On the 31 August, three trucks facilitated by the Logistics Cluster were delayed at Betunia and failed to reach Kerem Shalom crossing in Israel before 13h30 in order to cross into the Gaza Strip.  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 liaising with relevant authorities to ease bottlenecks and investigate possible solutions to the constraints at crossing points.  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.
