OCHA reports that Israeli authorities continue to deny UN-led efforts to reach North Gaza governorate with vital aid. This includes the most recent attempt today.

Across the Strip yesterday, only 10 out of 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.

Meanwhile, OCHA is deeply concerned about the impact that dwindling fuel supplies are having on essential services in Gaza. Palestinian telecommunication providers are now warning that their services may start to shut down tomorrow due to fuel shortages.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said today that Al Awda Hospital – the last partially functioning hospital in North Gaza governorate – is critically low on fuel and essential medical supplies. Parts of North Gaza – namely Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Jabalya refugee camps – have been besieged for more than three months now, and Al Awda has been overwhelmed with patients, particularly after the Kamal Adwan and Indonesian hospitals were rendered out of service following repeated attacks, raids and forced evacuations.
