Northern Gaza is experiencing a severe humanitarian crisis, with Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya of Kamal Adwan Hospital highlighting a surge in deaths, particularly among children, due to drought and malnutrition. The crisis is exacerbated by shortages of food and the spread of diseases. Despite Israel facilitating the entry of aid into Gaza, with 500 trucks of aid waiting on Gaza's side of Kerem Shalom for UN collection, the aid distribution faces delays. The region faces catastrophic hunger, with accusations against Israel for using hunger as a weapon. A recent allowance of 20 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza falls short of the daily need of 1000 trucks. The UK-Qatar joint aid consignment has arrived in Rafah, providing family-sized tents for shelter. However, the overall flow of aid into Gaza remains significantly constrained, with families in Deir al-Balah queuing for hours to receive a hot meal and those in the north on the verge of famine. International aid agencies report critical shortages of food, medicine, and basic supplies due to the ongoing crisis. People in Gaza City and the north have not received any food or medicines for weeks, highlighting the urgency for Israel to significantly increase the flow of aid.

Northern Gaza continues to face unprecedented levels of catastrophic hunger. https://t.co/s8ElJekRFz
Israel is facilitating aid into Gaza quicker than the UN can distribute it. This is the content of 500 trucks on Gaza’s side of Kerem Shalom, AFTER Israeli inspection, waiting to be picked up by @UN agencies. It’s day 3 that aid is waiting for the @UN to collect it. https://t.co/MPjn9sLa1c
