Jamie speaks with Georgios Petropoulos. He’s served with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs since 2012. He completed his most recent assignment in January as Head of Suboffice in Gaza. Georgios describes the immediate aftermath of the ceasefire. He explains that there was a sigh of relief as people went back to see what, if anything, was left of their homes. Jamie and Georgios talk about the obstacles in providing basic aid to the area. The challenges include lack of mobility and security. Jamie asks him what impact a ban on UNRWA will have for humanitarian assistance, and Jamie asks him what he believes the future could look like for Gaza.
