UN says Israel’s blocking of aid to north Gaza threatens ‘survival’ of 65,000-75,000

Israeli authorities denied 82 of 91 attempts by the UN to deliver aid to northern Gaza between early October and November 25.

As well as Israel denying 82 requests to deliver aid, Israel impeded nine other attempts to bring humanitarian supplies to the north of the territory, which has been under Israeli military siege and constant bombardment for more than 50 days.

“The conditions for survival are diminishing for the 65,000-75,000 people estimated to remain there,” the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said in a post on social media.
