Muhannad Hadi, the top UN aid official for Gaza and the West Bank, has warned that problems were likely to arise during the UN’s operations in the Palestinian enclave.

“Let’s not assume that because there is a ceasefire life is going to be rosy and our work is going to be a walk in the park,” Reuters quoted him as saying.

He said the aid operation faced logistical problems because the road network within Gaza was destroyed, adding that the movement of people within the enclave was also a complicating factor.
