The Israeli occupation military is adamant on starving the people in Gaza. The United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that Israel has denied or impeded all of its attempts to provide food and health care to the tens of thousands of people trapped in the besieged north.

It noted that on Monday the Israelis only allowed one mission of the World Food Programme (WFP) to enter.

The mission included two trucks carrying life-saving ready-to-eat rations and wheat flour, and a third truck had bottled water.

The OCHA says the aid was delivered to the Mahdia Al Shawwa shelter and a nearby public shelter.  But shortly afterwards, Israeli occupation forces surrounded the area, attacked it and forced people to flee.

Earlier, Palestinian media reported that Zionist troops set fire to Mahdia Al Shawwa and destroyed the building.
