Gaza Aid Crisis: Food Still Unreachable Despite Blockade End

Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Deepens: Aid Fails to Reach Starving Population Despite Blockade's End The Israeli government announced the lifting of its 11-week blockade on Gaza, but the promised aid has yet to reach the enclave's population. A Reuters video shows the dire situation, with Palestinians waiting for food supplies that have not been distributed. Antoine Renard, country director for the World Food Programme, stated, "As we speak, none of this aid...has reached the Gazan population." The video shows trucks carrying aid sitting at the Kerem Shalom border crossing, highlighting the logistical challenges and the desperate need for immediate action. The scenes of hungry children waiting with empty pots are heartbreaking, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. International aid organizations and governments must act swiftly to ensure that essential supplies reach the people of Gaza.
