The United States imposed sanctions on four activists connected to international aid flotillas attempting to reach Gaza and deliver humanitarian assistance. The sanctions were based on claims that organizers sought to support Hamas, including allegations made without evidence. The measures targeted two representatives from Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad and two from Samidoun, with prior actions already taken against Samidoun and PCPA. Gaza’s humanitarian crisis has eased somewhat since a ceasefire in October, but shortages in food and medical supplies persist. Israel has continued bombing Gaza, killing at least 880 people since the ceasefire, while much of the enclave remains destroyed and reconstruction has not meaningfully begun, leaving many people in tents.
"Despite the truce, Israel has been regularly bombing Gaza, killing at least 880 people since the ceasefire came into effect. The enclave also remains almost entirely destroyed, and reconstruction has not meaningfully started, leaving hundreds of thousands of people living in tents. The US sanctions on Tuesday targeted two representatives from the advocacy group Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad (PCPA) and two others from the Palestinian prisoners solidarity network Samidoun."
