DON'T MISS IT
Israel, which has been holding the Gaza Strip under siege since the start of the war against Hamas on October 7, 2023, imposed a hermetic blockade of the territory in early March this year, partially eased in late May, leading to severe shortages of food and basic necessities.
The United Nations (UN) reported today that the first aid trucks have begun crossing border crossings into the territory following Israel's announcement of a pause in hostilities around three densely populated areas in Gaza.
Israel announced this pause after repeated warnings from the UN and NGOs about the alarming increase in child malnutrition and the risk of general starvation among the Gaza population, due to the blockade and war.
