On 9 November, more than 50,000 people fled northern Gaza, where Israel’s ground invasion has essentially cut the enclave in two. The limited amount of aid entering Gaza through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt is mostly being distributed to people staying in UNRWA-run shelters in the south. UN experts have warned that time is running out to “prevent genocide and humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. Israel has reportedly agreed to hours-long humanitarian pauses amid its bombardment of Gaza. Meanwhile, the aid response for the Palestinian territories will now cost $1.2 billion until the end of the year, the UN announced.
