Humanitarian Aid To Northern Gaza Blocked

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Humanitarian aid to northern Gaza, where Israel launched a ground offensive on Oct. 6, has largely been blocked for the past 66 days. That’s according to the United Nations on Tuesday, which says between 65,000 and 75,000 Palestinians have been left without access to food, water, electricity or health care. In the north, Israel has continued its siege on Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya with Palestinians living there largely denied aid, the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, known as OCHA, said. Recently, it said, about 5,500 people were forcibly displaced from three schools in Beit Lahiya to Gaza City.
