JAKARTA - Israel has banned more than half of the missions planned by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and its humanitarian partners in aid deliveries in the northern Gaza Strip since earlier this year.
"Since early 2024, 51 percent of UNRWA's planned mission and its humanitarian partners to deliver aid and assess areas in northern Gaza this year have not had access from Israeli authorities", UNRWA said as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Wednesday, February 21.
"The food vulnerability in the north of Wadi Gaza has reached a very extreme limit," the agency continued.
The agency said on November 17 last year that residents in northern Gaza were "on the verge of starvation,"
Israel has hit the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian Hamas group in October, which is believed to have killed nearly 1,200 Israelis.
The death toll from Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has soared to 29,195, and injured 69,170 others, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.
About 85 percent of Gazans were displaced by Israeli attacks, all of which experienced food insecurity, according to the United Nations.
Hundreds of thousands of people live without shelter, and less than half of aid trucks can enter the area compared to before the conflict begins.
Israel is accused of committing genocide at the International Court. A provisional decision in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocide and ensure humanitarian aid was given to civilians in Gaza.
