Israel-Palestine Conflict and Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Israel's monthlong blockade in Gaza is causing food shortages and humanitarian crisis, with only five days of flour left and aid groups running out of supplies, raising fears of malnutrition and starvation. The resumption of Israeli airstrikes has further hindered aid efforts, with over 800 people killed, including nearly 40% children, in the past week and a half. The World Food Programme has two weeks of food supplies left, while tens of thousands of tons of food supplies are ready to enter Gaza if Israel allows the border crossings to reopen.
