Israel has blocked all attempts to deliver humanitarian aid to the northern Gaza Strip, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has said, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, UNRWA said it attempted 91 times to deliver life-saving humanitarian aid to Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Sahour in northern Gaza from October 6 to November 25.

“82 of these attempts were outrightly denied, while 9 of them were impeded,” it added.

“The conditions for survival are diminishing for the 65,000-75,000 people estimated to remain there,” the UN agency said.

“For over 50 days, they have been facing diminishing conditions for survival.”
