Thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza have flocked to a central street near Gaza City for a possible delivery of flour and humanitarian aid a day after the UN refugee agency for Palestine, UNRWA, said it was no longer functional in north Gaza amid Israeli restrictions on food aid access, Al Jazeera reports.

On Sunday a two-month-old Palestinian baby died from starvation in northern Gaza, according to media reports.

The Palestinians have been queuing in the area since the early hours of the morning, according to footage reviewed by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency.

Supplies of food and aid have long run dry in northern Gaza due to Israeli restrictions, where residents have described famine-like conditions.
