Condemn Israel for blocking humanitarian aid from the United Nations

The Israel government's obstruction of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza is unconscionable. Denying 82 out of 91 attempted UN aid deliveries over the past month and a half is a flagrant violation of international law and basic human rights. This blockade has left an estimated 65,000-75,000 civilians in dire conditions without access to food, water, shelter, and medical care. With heavy rains and dropping temperatures, families who fled the besieged areas are now sheltering in the cold without blankets or proper shelter. Children lack warm clothing and shoes. The situation is rapidly deteriorating into a severe humanitarian crisis. Severe food shortages threaten to endanger lives that already depend on aid to survive. This cruel deprivation of essential aid cannot be justified under any circumstances. Israel must immediately lift the blockade and allow unfettered access for the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the people of northern Gaza.
