UN Issues Urgent Appeal for Humanitarian Aid in Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued a renewed urgent appeal for humanitarian aid to hospitals in northern Gaza, severely impacted after 14 months of conflict. The situation is dire, with scarce medical resources and attacks reported on clinics by the Israeli military. Despite claims of available aid from Israeli authorities, the UN states access for humanitarian deliveries has been largely denied. Concerns over security and aid theft in the Palestinian enclave have also been raised, calling attention to the deteriorating conditions of healthcare facilities.
