Israel's blockade and military offensive have created dire humanitarian conditions, impeding safe aid delivery and pushing Gaza towards famine nearly 22 months into conflict with Hamas. Recent measures allowing more aid remain insufficient, while families of hostages express fear over starvation. Reports indicate several hundred Palestinians have died from Israeli fire near food distribution areas. Airdropped aid has proven costly and dangerous, often missing intended targets, exacerbating desperation among residents. Violence erupted as people rushed for scarce food parcels, illustrating the intense struggle for basic necessities amid worsening conditions.
Several hundred Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since May while heading toward food distribution sites and aid convoys, according to witnesses, local health officials and the United Nations human rights office.
Many food parcels dropped by air have splashed into the Mediterranean Sea or landed in so-called red zones from which Israel's military has ordered people to evacuate.
