US EditionWhy not enough food is reaching people in Gaza even after Israel eased its blockade
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 31 – Humanitarian groups criticize Trump’s plan as insufficient amid a blockade causing severe malnutrition and deaths, with Israel allowing only 220-270 aid trucks daily, far below UN needs.
- Starting in March, Israel completely stopped food supplies from entering Gaza for about two and a half months, then began allowing a limited number of aid trucks to enter from late May onward.
- This blockade caused widespread starvation and malnutrition, with aid organizations and officials warning that current conditions cannot reverse the crisis.
- Aid delivery remains disrupted by violence near distribution sites, with gangs looting supplies and Israeli troops firing warning shots to control chaotic crowds.

- Despite easing measures and increased truck deliveries, hunger and aid access challenges persist, implying sustained efforts are needed to alleviate Gaza’s food crisis.
