DELAYS and obstructions by the Israeli military have meant only 12 trucks have delivered aid to northern Gaza since October, Oxfam warned today.

Israel has continually prevented humanitarian agencies from delivering much-needed aid to the region since it escalated its siege of northern Gaza on October 6, the charity said.

The UN has warned that famine is imminent and estimates that up to 75,000 Gazans remain trapped without access to food, water or power.
