Israel has halted all food and goods into Gaza, reminiscent of its initial siege during the conflict with Hamas. This decision, condemned by the United Nations and various humanitarian organizations, is seen as a violation of international law and a form of collective punishment. As negotiations stalled, Israel aimed to pressure Hamas into agreeing to extend a ceasefire proposal linked to U.S. mediation. Amidst fears of famine for Gaza's 2 million residents, critics warn that these actions threaten previous humanitarian progress made during a six-week ceasefire.
Israel's recent decision echoes its earlier siege on Gaza, where it cut off the entry of food and goods, intensifying calls for international intervention.
Accusations against Israel for collective punishment and use of starvation as a weapon reflect the seriousness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
