Humanitarian aid to North Gaza, where Israel launched a ground offensive on October 6, has largely been blocked for the past 66 days, the United Nations said on Tuesday.

That has left between 65,000 and 75,000 Palestinians without access to food, water, electricity or health care, according to the UN.
