UN aid deliveries to Gaza were suspended again on Friday November 17, due to shortages of fuel and a communications shutdown, increasing the misery of thousands of hungry and homeless Palestinians as Israeli troops battled Hamas militants in the enclave.
The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) said civilians faced the “immediate possibility of starvation” due to the lack of food supplies.
With the war between Israel and Hamas about to enter its seventh week, there was no sign of any slow down despite international calls for a ceasefire or at least for humanitarian pauses.
