Efforts continue to deliver aid routes into Gaza
March 21, 2024 - Airdrops of food, a new sea route, and trucks entering through border crossings have not yet delivered enough food and supplies to Gaza to meet the needs of an increasingly desperate and hungry population.
As many as 1.1 million people could face deadly levels of hunger by mid-July, according to a new report from a global authority on food crises.
Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza may amount to the war crime of deliberate starvation, the UN has said, as the White House called for unimpeded access for aid to the coastal strip.
Israel denies impeding the entry of aid to Gaza and accuses aid organisations of failing to distribute it.
