GAZA, (PIC)
UNRWA said on Thursday that Israeli authorities denied 82 of 91 attempts by the UN to deliver aid to northern Gaza between early October and November 25.
Israel also impeded nine other attempts to bring humanitarian supplies to the north of the territory, which has been under an Israeli military siege and constant bombardment for more than 50 days, according to social media remarks by UNRWA.
“The conditions for survival are diminishing for the 65,000-75,000 people estimated to remain there,” UNRWA added.
UNRWA warned that thousands of families who fled the besieged areas in northern Gaza “are now sheltering in the cold and rain without blankets, mattresses and waterproof shelters.”
“The situation is beyond miserable,” it said.
On Wednesday, UNRWA warned that “hunger in Gaza is at critical levels, with people scavenging through weeks-old waste for scraps of food.”
“As winter approaches, conditions are rapidly deteriorating, and survival is impossible without immediate humanitarian aid,” UNRWA said, calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
