Israel Says It Will Allow a Limited Amount of Aid Into Gaza After Nearly 3 Months of Blockade

On May 19, 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the government had approved sending a basic supply of humanitarian assistance into Gaza following an almost three-month blockade.
The decision followed mounting international pressure and warnings of a growing famine risk due to Israel's blockade starting March 2, which cut off food, water, fuel, and medicine to Gaza's two million residents.
Israel simultaneously intensified its offensive against Hamas, ordering evacuations in Khan Yunis and launching extensive air and ground operations targeting terror sites while aiming to displace Gaza's population and exert pressure on Hamas.
Netanyahu stated the aid would be minimal and distributed by a U.S.-backed organization in hubs secured by Israeli forces to prevent aid reaching militants, emphasizing the need to avoid images of mass starvation to maintain international support.
This move suggests Israel seeks to balance humanitarian concerns with its military objectives, but U.N. Agencies and aid groups warned that the limited aid plan would not meet Gaza's needs and might violate humanitarian principles.
