Here is a rundown of what some U.N. agencies call a "humanitarian catastrophe" enveloping the tiny Hamas-ruled enclave of 2.3 million people.
Since limited deliveries resumed on Oct. 21, at least 450 trucks have entered Gaza carrying food, water and health supplies.
FOOD AND WATERGaza residents are facing severe water shortages.
The only functioning mill in Gaza remains unable to grind wheat due to a lack of electricity and fuel, OCHA said, and eleven bakeries have been hit in the conflict.
The U.N. aid chief said 'some progress' had been made in talks on letting fuel into Gaza, although no shipments have been confirmed.
