Northern Gaza left waiting for aid

People in northern Gaza are still waiting for aid to reach them, Al Jazeera reported on Friday.

Hani Mahmoud, an Al Jazeera reporter in Gaza City, said that people in the northern parts of Gaza had not received any of the extremely limited aid coming into central or south Gaza.

Mahmoud reported that he was witnessing people spending “most of the past days, and since the blockade intensified, queueing for many hours just to get a bowl of soup, waiting with empty hands and empty pots” all the while being vigilant of air strikes.

Mahmoud also reported that over the last few weeks, “we’ve seen many cases of malnourishment at hospitals, we’ve seen hospitals unable to provide treatment due to the lack of medical supplies, and we’ve seen children dying inside the hospitals due to a lack of antibiotics for treatable infections”.
