The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that the survival conditions are dwindling for the estimated 65,000 to 75,000 people still in the northern Gaza Strip.

UNRWA explained in a post on the X platform, today, Thursday, that estimates indicate that between 65 and 75 thousand people are still in the besieged northern Gaza Strip, and for more than 50 days they have been facing deteriorating conditions for survival.

She noted that the areas of Jabalia, Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun have been largely cut off from receiving humanitarian aid for weeks amid ongoing violent hostilities.

UNRWA pointed out that the past three days witnessed heavy rainfall and a noticeable drop in temperatures, while thousands of families displaced from the besieged areas are now facing the cold and rain of winter without blankets, mattresses or shelters to protect them from the water.

She continued: “From October 6 to November 25, 2024, the United Nations made 91 repeated attempts to reach these three areas to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, but 82 of these attempts were categorically rejected, while 9 of them were obstructed.”
