Conditions for survival ‘diminishing’ in north Gaza — UNRWA
The conditions for survival are diminishing in the northern Gaza Strip, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).
UNRWA said in a post on the platform X that 65,000-75,000 people are still in the north of the Palestinian enclave.
UNRWA said the areas of Jabaliya, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun have been cut off from humanitarian aid for weeks.
The agency said that the UN had attempted to reach these areas 91 times to provide assistance since October 6, but these were “denied” 82 times and “impeded” nine times.
UNRWA warned that Gaza had seen heavy rain and a drop in temperatures, saying that thousands of families were sheltering without blankets, mattresses or waterproof shelters.
