The Zionist entity Blocks Humanitarian Aid to Northern Gaza, UN Reports

The United Nations reported on Tuesday that the Zionist entity obstructed all attempts to deliver life-saving assistance to Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip during November. According to Farhan Haq, the UN deputy spokesman, none of the 41 attempts by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to reach the besieged areas with vital aid were facilitated by Zionist forces.

Haq revealed that 37 of these attempts were outright denied by Zionist forces, while the remaining four missions, although initially approved, faced obstacles on the ground and were only partially completed. The ongoing blockade has severely impacted Palestinians, particularly with winter approaching, making thousands of displaced individuals more vulnerable. Additionally, the build-up of sewage in densely populated areas is exacerbating the public health crisis.

Haq also addressed recent reports about the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) evacuating its offices in occupied East Jerusalem, which he denied. He reaffirmed that UNRWA continues to operate in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip to support Palestinian refugees despite increasing efforts to prevent the agency from carrying out its mandate.
