Israel Denies UN Aid Efforts

The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on 10 January informed that Israeli authorities continue to deny UN-led efforts to reach North Gaza governorate with vital aid, a UN spokesperson told reporters in New York.

The Spokesperson for the Secretary-General, said, “across the Gaza Strip, only 10 out of the 21 UN planned humanitarian movements were facilitated by the Israeli authorities.

Seven were denied outright, three were impeded, and one was cancelled due to security and logistical challenges.

” He also said, “Palestinian telecommunication providers are now warning that their services may start to shut down tomorrow due to fuel shortages, which they need to run the generators for their equipment.”
