UN: Israel blocking aid to north Gaza, threatening survival of 65,000-75,000 people

Israeli authorities denied 82 of 91 attempts by the UN to deliver aid to northern Gaza between early October and November 25.

As well as Israel denying 82 requests to deliver aid, Israel impeded nine other attempts to bring humanitarian supplies to the north of the territory, which has been under Israeli military siege and constant bombardment for more than 50 days.

“The conditions for survival are diminishing for the 65,000-75,000 people estimated to remain there,” the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said in a post on social media.


More than 2 million trapped with little food and no safe water in Gaza: UN

The UN sends a reminder that more than two million people are now trapped in the Gaza Strip with little access to food and no access to safe drinking water.

“Food is scarce, and famine is imminent. Most of Gaza’s water supply is unsafe to drink. With nowhere to go, families are living in abandoned homes or out in the open,” the UN said.


Heavy rains washing away displaced Palestinians’ tents

Many thousands of Palestinians are forced to live in makeshift tents in the Gaza Strip after being driven from their homes by Israeli fire. Winter is approaching, and heavy rain is now washing away those dilapidated tents.

“Last night, the sea pulled children, and everybody knows. This is the life of all citizens at the Khan Younis shore,” a displaced Palestinian in southern Gaza said in the video below shared by the UN.
