Israel Halts Gaza Aid Flow, Raising Humanitarian Concerns

Aid groups warn of severe shortages as Israel pressures Hamas with supply cutoff, jeopardizing progress made during prior ceasefire phase.

Israel has suspended the delivery of food, fuel, and medical supplies to Gaza, aiming to pressure Hamas into accepting a new ceasefire proposal.
Humanitarian organizations report critical shortages of essential supplies, warning of catastrophic consequences if the blockade continues.
Prices for basic goods in Gaza, including food and fuel, have surged dramatically since the supply cutoff, exacerbating the crisis for residents.
Aid agencies are struggling to distribute limited resources, with stockpiles of tents, medicine, and other supplies stuck at border crossings.
The situation recalls a prior aid freeze during intense aerial bombardments in 2023, which led to accusations of genocide in international courts.
