The situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly due to an aid blockade imposed by Israel, resulting in deadly consequences and severe malnutrition among the population. Humanitarian aid has been drastically reduced, with fewer food supplies entering Gaza than during previous conflicts. A new aid system established by Israel has limited access to food, forcing many to navigate dangerous areas for basic necessities. Additionally, disagreements between Israel and the United Nations have further complicated aid delivery, impacting the well-being of countless Gazans.
"Over the past several weeks, obtaining food in Gaza has been more than difficult - it has been deadly. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while heading toward aid sites, many of them by Israeli forces."
"In March, Israel imposed an aid blockade on Gaza in an effort to squeeze concessions from Hamas; it also said, without providing evidence, that the militant group was systematically stealing the supplies."
"Amid growing international pressure, Israel established a new aid system in May in southern and central Gaza that would allow it greater control over aid deliveries."
"Israel has blamed the U.N. for not bringing in more food, while the U.N. argues that Israel frequently denies or delays its requests to bring in convoys, among other challenges."
