Humanitarian aid to North Gaza has been largely blocked for the past 66 days, leaving tens of thousands of Palestinians without access to basic necessities. Israel has continued its siege on certain areas, denying aid to those living there. The food crisis has also worsened, with only four UN-supported bakeries operating in Gaza. The senior UN humanitarian coordinator for Gaza described the situation as 'utterly devastating' and highlighted the breakdown in law and order. The UN has called for political will from member states and the international community to address the worsening crisis.
