The latest report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says the organisation’s aid efforts are affected by Israel’s denials of access.

“The UN’s ability to respond to extensive needs in the northern part of Gaza is being curtailed by recurring denials of access for aid deliveries and lack of coordinated safe access by the Israeli authorities. These denials and severe access constraints are paralysing the ability of humanitarian partners to respond meaningfully, consistently and at scale,” the report stated.
