Israel restricts Gaza’s food and medicine flow
The Gaza Strip is suffering from an illegal blockade imposed by Israel, aimed at destroying the transportation and shipping infrastructure by damaging vehicles, destroying company warehouses, arresting drivers, and preventing the entry of trucks, spare parts, and essential goods. This blockade obstructs the delivery of food, medicine, and aid, threatening to induce famine. Before the conflict, Gaza had a fleet of about 1,200 trucks, but around 800 were destroyed, leaving only approximately 300 now—about 25% of its previous size. The food situation has deteriorated, and the sector could revert to a state of extreme emergency with food insecurity, as 67% of the population faces the threat of famine by the end of 2026. Israel intentionally destroys logistical infrastructure by stopping trucks at checkpoints, arresting drivers, and launching strikes against them, despite knowing their missions. This significantly aggravates the humanitarian crisis. Human rights advocates deem such actions a blatant violation of international law and war crimes, and there are international calls to end the blockade, open border crossings, and provide logistical support to ensure that aid reaches those in need quickly and effectively.
