US EditionGaza: Two months since Israel's full blockade, aid work is on the verge of collapse
- Israel has maintained a full blockade on aid to Gaza for two months, severely restricting humanitarian inflows to 2.4 million residents in the Palestinian territory.
- This blockade came after a ceasefire that temporarily eased the conflict following over a year of fighting but ended shortly after aid shipments stopped on March 2.
- Humanitarian agencies report hospitals are running out of blood, food stocks are depleted, community kitchens have closed, and over 420,000 people have been displaced again amid ongoing violence.
- Olga Cherevko of UN OCHA said, “Food stocks have now mainly run out,” with people fighting violently over scarce water supplies, and the Red Cross warned the situation is on the verge of total collapse.
- International organizations, including humanitarian groups, have urgently called for global intervention, cautioning that without swift measures, Gaza could spiral into a level of disorder beyond the scope of aid efforts to address.
