 The United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, on Monday described relief workers on the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing by saying that they are “true heroes.”

In a statement, Griffiths praised the aid workers on the Palestinian side of the border who “immediately sprang to action to offload the goods” from the trucks “despite the risks,” emphasizing that they also need protection.

Additionally, he highlighted that 14 trucks have entered Gaza on Sunday through the Rafah crossing, with aid provided by the Egyptian Red Crescent and the United Nations.

Furthermore, Griffiths said that this aid ” is another glimmer of hope for the millions of people in dire need of humanitarian aid”, adding “but they need more, much more.”
