Palestinians line up to receive food aid in central Gaza

Long lines of Palestinians have been waiting to receive food aid in the Nuseirat Refugee Camp in Gaza.

A total blockade on all humanitarian aid deliveries, including food supplies, medicines and other essentials, has been imposed on Gaza for over six weeks by Israel since the January ceasefire with Hamas collapsed last month.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has said stocks that were able to enter Gaza during the two-month ceasefire have now nearly run out and hunger is spreading throughout the enclave.
