"Between 1 and 11 August, out of the 85 coordinated humanitarian assistance missions to northern Gaza, only 34 were facilitated by Israeli authorities. The rest were either denied, impeded or canceled due to security, logistical or operational reasons," OCHA said in a daily bulletin.In the south of the Palestinian enclave, Israel allowed only 63 missions out of 122, OCHA said. On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, Hamas fighters infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians, and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid. The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave. The enclave's health ministry says that the death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has exceeded 39,929.

Israel Denied One-Third of UN Humanitarian Missions to Gaza on August 1-11, OCHA Says
09:27 14.08.2024 (Updated: 11:40 14.08.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Israel has rejected about a third of UN requests for humanitarian missions to the Gaza Strip between August 1 and 11, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday.
"Between 1 and 11 August, out of the 85 coordinated humanitarian assistance missions to northern Gaza, only 34 were facilitated by Israeli authorities. The rest were either denied, impeded or canceled due to security, logistical or operational reasons," OCHA said in a daily bulletin. In the south of the Palestinian enclave,
Israel allowed only 63 missions out of 122, OCHA said.
"The cumulative impact of these access constraints driven by intense hostilities and insecurity, challenges in moving between the north and the south, and frequent evacuation orders is perpetuating a continued cycle of deprivation and distress among affected people who are facing death, pain, hunger, thirst on a daily basis," the bulletin added.
On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. In addition, Hamas fighters infiltrated the border areas, opened fire on the military and civilians, and took hostages. Israeli authorities say that about 1,200 people were killed during the raid. The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Iron Swords in the Gaza Strip and announced a complete blockade of the enclave. The enclave's health ministry says that the death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has exceeded 39,929.
