The situation in Gaza has worsened significantly since Israel imposed a total siege, halting all humanitarian aid including food, fuel, and medicine for over 60 days. Muneer Alboursh, director of Gaza's health ministry, is inundated with calls from desperate healthcare providers and patients seeking medical assistance that is no longer available. While Israel insists its blockade is lawful, humanitarian organizations argue it constitutes a violation of international law, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis for the nearly two million people in Gaza, who have endured a partial blockade since 2007.
As the phone calls pour in, Muneer Alboursh, the director general of Gaza's health ministry, is running out of answers... In most cases, those patients die.
Israel says it will not relent until Hamas releases the hostages it still holds after a two-month cease-fire collapsed in March.
Humanitarian groups and European officials accuse Israel of using aid as a political tool and warn that the total blockade violates international law.
The severity of the siege means it now affects nearly every part of the lives of the roughly two million people trapped inside Gaza.
