World Food Programme’s (WFP) Palestine Country Director Matthew Hollingworth has told Talk to Al Jazeera that while more aid trucks have been reaching the north of Gaza, Palestinians in the south of the Gaza Strip have been unable to return to the north.

Hollingworth said some Palestinians from neighbouring areas have been returning to Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip despite the damage to buildings, sewage and water infrastructure there, Al Jazeera reports.

“Jabalia has changed immeasurably just in the past month, since the last time I was there, it is so much more destroyed than it was,” he said.

“And yet people are still there. People have returned, in fact, and they are living in the most incredibly difficult circumstances at the moment.”
