Israel's ongoing blockade of humanitarian assistance for Gaza has forced aid groups to shut down community soup kitchens, leading to malnutrition and hunger among the population. The blockade, in place since March, has damaged Gaza's water system and left supplies to treat malnutrition running out. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has resulted in a high death toll and casualties on both sides.
