THE United Nations has delivered food aid to northern Gaza for the first time in two weeks, the world body’s humanitarian agency said yesterday, warning that the situation there is “desperate.”
Israel’s ground and air offensive continues in the area, and there have been many civilian casualties in recent days, according to the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
OCHA aid workers said they hoped that 30 more lorries of food aid would enter northern Gaza by the end of yesterday.
