Gaza crisis deepens as UN aid convoys face delays and obstacles

Amid reports of continued Israeli airstrikes overnight in southern and central Gaza and more rocket fire into Israel from the enclave, UN teams said on Thursday they have been unable to deliver urgently needed aid to civilians beyond central areas and further north for the past three days.

In its latest alert on the deteriorating situation for 1.9 million displaced people in the Strip, UN aid coordination office OCHA blamed 'delays and denials' along with active conflict for the lack of distribution beyond Wadi Gaza.
