Humanitarian aid to north Gaza blocked for last two months, says UN

That has left between 65,000 and 75,000 Palestinians without access to food, water, electricity or healthcare, according to the world body.

In the north, Israel has continued its siege on Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya with Palestinians living there largely denied aid, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, known as OCHA, said. Recently, it said, about 5,500 people were forcibly displaced from three schools in Beit Lahiya to Gaza City.
