The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported that between 1 and 11 January, only 21 per cent of planned aid deliveries of food, medicines, water, and other lifesaving supplies to the north of Wadi Gaza have proceeded. The ability of humanitarian partners to respond to the extensive needs in the northern part of Gaza is being curtailed by recurring denials of access. We continue to press Israel to take steps to significantly increase the flow of aid into Gaza including allowing prolonged humanitarian pauses, opening more routes into Gaza and restoring water, fuel and electricity connections.
