At least 17 Palestinians, including four children, have died from cold in the Gaza Strip so far this month amid continued Israeli restrictions on aid delivery.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that more than 16,000 patients in the Gaza Strip are still awaiting evacuation for treatment abroad.

Hamas says the UN figures that illegal Israeli settler attacks hit the highest monthly toll in October in nearly two decades constitute clear evidence of the systematic policy of terror and abuse pursued by the occupying regime against Palestinians.

The UN reports that illegal Israeli settler attacks have reached their highest monthly level in almost 20 years.

Several international aid agencies have warned about the insufficient amount of assistance reaching the Gaza Strip.
