Oxfam, a non-governmental organization, has raised the alarm about the dire humanitarian situation in northern Gaza, reporting that only 12 humanitarian aid trucks have distributed food and water in the past two and a half months.
The organization emphasized the severe impact of the blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation army.
In a statement, Oxfam highlighted that "deliberate delays and systematic obstruction by the Israeli army have resulted in only 12 trucks being able to deliver aid to starving Palestinian civilians," from a total of 34 trucks loaded with essential supplies allowed into the northern Gaza governorate during this period.
Oxfam noted that "in the case of three of these trucks, as soon as food and water were distributed to the school where residents had taken refuge, it was subsequently evacuated and bombed a few hours later."
Since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, strict controls have been imposed on the arrival of international aid, vital for the 2.4 million people in Gaza. Oxfam stated that it, along with other international humanitarian organizations, has been "continuously prevented" from providing necessary assistance in northern Gaza since October 6, when Israel intensified its bombing.
Oxfam reported that "thousands of people remain isolated, but with humanitarian access blocked, it is impossible to accurately count them."
In early December, humanitarian organizations in Gaza received calls from vulnerable individuals trapped in homes or shelters, who had run out of food and water. (ILKHA)
