Israeli authorities continue to block UN-led efforts to bring critical humanitarian aid to North Gaza, including the most recent attempt on Friday, UN Spokesperson Stephanie Dujarric said at a recent media briefing in the US.

Out of 21 planned attempts on Thursday, Israeli authorities facilitated only 10. Experts are seriously concerned about the impact of falling fuel supplies on essential amenities. Telecommunication companies are facing great challenges due to fuel shortages.
