UN emergency relief agency OCHA says aid organisations have not been able to deliver urgently needed life-saving assistance to northern Gaza for days.
OCHA said that UN and partner organisations had been unable to deliver humanitarian aid to North of the Wadi Gaza River for four days as access to the areas had been delayed or denied and fighting continued in the area.
Urgently needed aid supplies included medicines to supply more than 100,000 people for a month.
OCHA called for urgent, safe, sustained and unhindered humanitarian access to the areas North of Wadi Gaza, which had been cut off from the South for more than a month.
War between Israel and the Islamist organization Hamas has been raging in the Gaza Strip for three months now.
According to the Hamas-controlled health authority, the number of Palestinians killed has risen to 22,438, the vast majority of them civilians.
The Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip was a response to attacks carried out by Hamas terrorists and other groups in Israel on Oct. 7.
Around 1,200 people, including more than 800 civilians, were killed. (dpa/NAN)
