Thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza flocked to a central street near Gaza City for a possible delivery of flour and humanitarian aid after the UN refugee agency for Palestine, UNRWA, said it was no longer functional in northern Gaza amid Israeli restrictions on food aid access.

On Sunday a two-month-old Palestinian baby died from starvation in northern Gaza, according to media reports.

The Palestinians were queueing in the area since the early hours of Sunday morning, according to Al Jazeera. 

Supplies of food and aid have long run dry in northern Gaza due to Israeli restrictions, where residents have described famine-like conditions.
