OCHA: Israel refuses to facilitate the delivery of aid to northern Gaza Strip

Occupied Al-Quds,(ST)- The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that the Israeli occupation authorities refuse to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza Strip.

Wafa  News Agency reported that the office said in a statement today: “Israel rejected 22 requests that we submitted during the past month, in order to deliver humanitarian aid to northern Gaza Strip, and we did not receive any response regarding that.”

United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric confirmed that Israel” continues to obstruct the arrival of aid to the northern Gaza Strip. He indicated that only 10 aid operations were carried out to assist people in northern Gaza Strip, compared to 61 operations last month.

The United Nations warns that about 2.4 million Palestinians are at risk of starvation in Gaza Strip as a result of the occupation’s continued aggression since the seventh of last October and its prevention of aid deliveries to the strip.
