Israel Is Letting a Trickle of Aid Into Gaza for the First Time in 2 1/2 Months. Here's What to Know

Israel began allowing a small amount of food and medicine to enter the Gaza Strip after sealing it off for over two and a half months.
The blockade started on March 2 to pressure Hamas into accepting a ceasefire favorable to Israel, but Israel shattered an earlier truce with airstrikes two weeks later.
Humanitarian organizations involved in food distribution, having exhausted their supplies weeks ago, have expressed appreciation for the recent aid delivery but criticized it as inadequate and highlighted Israeli military delays that have hindered distribution.
Nearly half a million Palestinians face possible starvation and one million struggle to get enough food, while close allies like the U.K., France, and Canada called the aid 'wholly inadequate' and threatened concrete actions.
The easing of the blockade aims to bridge before a new Israeli-controlled aid system rollout, but humanitarian groups reject the plan as violating principles and risking further displacement.
