Food aid to north Gaza halted over past two days, says UN

Vita food aid to the northern Gaza Strip has been halted over the past two days due to the lack of safe access, the UN said on Monday.

"As famine edges closer, families are forced into dire choices for survival," The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territory said on X.

"The need for safe, unhindered humanitarian support has never been more urgent."
