Humanitarian aid always blocked
The Israeli army resumed its bombings and its offensive in the Gaza Strip on March 18, ending two months of truce with Hamas in the war launched by the unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
The civil defense of the territory had reported at least 42 people killed in new Israeli attacks in the small Palestinian territory devastated by Friday’s war and that Israel has been submitting a total blockade.
Israel has reduced the entry of all humanitarian aid since March 2 in the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of diverting it. Israel says that this total blockade is intended to press the Islamist movement to release all the hostages that it possesses, alive or dead.
Since then, the United Nations has been asking Israel to reopen the territory with humanitarian aid, vital for the population that faces a catastrophic humanitarian situation and exposed to famine according to UN officials.
