The UN humanitarian agency OCHA has said the UN faced denials from Israeli authorities to reach people in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, in the north of the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.
“Between 1 and 25 November, the UN attempted to reach these besieged areas 41 times,” OCHA said in its latest update.
“Thirty-seven of these attempts were outright denied, while four were initially approved, but then severely impeded on the ground such that the assistance could not be delivered to people trapped in the besieged area,” it said.
