Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports that Palestinians in Gaza are growing desperate in their search for food and water in the enclave’s north.

“Today’s deadly attacks in the south again show that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is insufficient in the way it’s running aid delivery across the southern part of Gaza,” Mahmoud reports.

“In the north, living conditions are becoming even more difficult. People are not just spending hours searching for water and food, now they are spending half the day or the whole day,” he adds. “By the end of the day, we’ll see a lot of people are very tired, very exhausted, very dehydrated, simply because they could not find food, could not find water.”

According to Mahmoud, attacks are still taking place, with many of the injuries being transferred to the two remaining operational hospitals in Gaza: Al-Shifa and Al-Ahli Arab.

“Those hospitals are running out of medical supplies. And of course, this is happening with zero aid coming to the northern part of Gaza: no water, no food, no medical supplies,” Mahmoud reports.
