When compared to the same period in September, Israel’s own figures reveal that aid deliveries to Gaza as a whole have completely stopped.
The Israeli military has been accused of obstructing food aid deliveries in an effort to starve Hamas fighters as a result of this.
A senior UN official has warned that “supplies for survival are running out” in north Gaza because to the scarcity of food, and local residents have told the BBC that the situation is untenable.
Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Acting Under-Secretary-General Joyce Msuya of the UN announced Monday that Israel had prevented any food aid from entering northern.
A “trickle” of help was permitted to enter the region on Monday, she added, but she cautioned that bakeries will have to close in a matter of days due to a shortage of fuel supply.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has denied on numerous occasions that his administration is purposefully blocking food supplies from getting to northern Gaza.
However, the United States has cautioned its ally to increase humanitarian access immediately or face the possibility of some military aid being shut off. The United States also claims to be keeping an eye on Israel’s activities in northern Gaza to make sure it is not engaging in “a policy of starvation.”
