UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric claims Israel prevented two humanitarian convoys from reaching northern Gaza earlier today.
“Our colleagues from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs tell us that we had planned two humanitarian missions to northern Gaza today, but both were denied access by Israeli authorities,” he says.
“One of the missions was meant to deliver 20,000 liters of fuel to run backup power generators at Al-Ahli Hospital where medical personnel are still working to provide essential healthcare despite having no electricity.
“OCHA reports that within the past week, more than 40% of aid missions to northern Gaza were denied or impeded, including due to hostilities nearby.
“Humanitarian missions planned for areas south of Wadi Gaza were also denied access. Only one mission that required coordination was facilitated today by the Israeli authorities and that mission provided health support to civilians in Khan Younis,” Dujarric says.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
