Aid workers report worsening humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza
Summary: Aid workers report worsening conditions in northern Gaza, with critical shortages of food, water, and medical supplies leading to increased malnutrition and preventable deaths. The situation is described as among the "darkest stages" for the Palestinian population.
Since October 6, Israeli military operations have intensified, trapping civilians and limiting their movement. Medical evacuations for children have drastically decreased, with only 127 children evacuated since May, compared to an average of 296 per month earlier this year.
The UN has called the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza "untenable," urging Israel to allow more aid. Reports indicate that only a small fraction of planned humanitarian missions have been permitted, exacerbating the crisis as basic services collapse.
