UN says Israel still preventing aid from reaching northern Gaza

“Humanitarian agencies, including UNRWA, must have access to northern Gaza. Refusing and militarizing humanitarian aid for military purposes is a sign of the weakness of the moral compass,” Lazzarini said.

He said aid must reach everyone who needs it in the Palestinian enclave, including children and Israeli hostages held by Hamas militants.

“A ceasefire is the beginning of the end of this endless nightmare,” he added.

Israel launched a vast military offensive in northern Gaza more than two weeks ago, notably in Jabalia, the largest of the enclave’s eight historic camps, with the declared aim of preventing Hamas fighters from regrouping. .
