Gaza Blockade: Blame and Food Crisis
The article concerns the crisis surrounding the entry of commercial goods into the Gaza Strip, where Israel and Hamas exchange accusations over the imposition of fees and taxes on commercial trucks. Israel accused Hamas of levying fees of up to 10,000 shekels on each truck, while Hamas denied imposing mandatory taxes and confirmed that the amounts are collected as voluntary contributions to support vulnerable groups. The conflict has led to a halt in the entry of commercial trucks from Israel, hindering supplies and threatening the food security and livelihoods of around two million Palestinians. International organizations have warned of a worsening humanitarian situation. Although some aid from Egypt is allowed to enter, reports indicate a significant decline in the movement of commercial trucks, increasing the risk of exacerbating the economic and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
