Since Israel announced earlier this month that it would suspend the entry of all goods into the Gaza Strip, the problem of food shortage in the area has become increasingly severe. 鈥�

On the 22nd local time, in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, a large number of local residents flocked to a "charity kitchen" to wait for relief food. But limited food cannot meet everyone's needs, and there are still many people who have not received food. The people of Gaza said, "I came here to get some rice for the children, but it's gone. I can only go back empty handed. The border crossing has been closed, and since the beginning of this round of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, I have had no income. I have also been injured. What is happening in the Gaza Strip is a crime of genocide, and people have no food to eat. Look at those children and adults, Gaza has no food, and we are on the brink of a great famine

Another Gaza resident said, "This is a severe siege, without aid, we can't find food and drink, and we don't have gas for cooking. I hope the border crossings can be opened, and I hope the international community can put pressure on Israel

On the 2nd of this month, Israel announced a temporary suspension of allowing all goods to enter the Gaza Strip, resulting in local food shortages. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East warned on the 21st that the distribution of aid supplies in the Gaza Strip has significantly decreased, and the agency's flour is only enough for distribution for 6 days. 鈥�

It is reported that Israel resumed large-scale airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on the 18th, citing Hamas' refusal to extend the ceasefire agreement and release detainees proposed by the US. On the 21st, Sam Rosa, an official from the Near East Relief Agency, told media reporters that no supplies have entered the Gaza Strip recently, "the longest period since the outbreak of a new round of Israeli Palestinian conflict in October 2023." As an aid agency, "the progress we have made during the past six weeks of ceasefire is being reversed. 鈥�

On the 23rd local time, Philip Lazzarini, the Commissioner General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, posted on social media that Israeli authorities have banned aid supplies from entering the Gaza Strip for three weeks. At present, Gaza has no food, no medicine, no drinking water, and no fuel. The tight blockade this time is longer than the blockade in the early stages of the war. Lazarini said that the survival of the people in Gaza depends on supplies entering through Israel. If there is no aid entering every day, it means that more children in Gaza are starving, more diseases are spreading, and various forms of deprivation are intensifying. The ban on the entry of aid supplies is a collective punishment imposed on Gaza, targeting children, women, and ordinary civilians who make up the majority of the population in Gaza. Lazarini finally called for the lifting of the blockade on Gaza, the release of all detainees in Gaza, and the unimpeded and large-scale entry of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies into Gaza. 鈥�
