Israel has made the decision to halt the entry of all food and goods into Gaza, reminiscent of the siege imposed during the early days of its conflict with Hamas. This move has sparked sharp criticism from the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations, who have labeled it a violation of international law.
Various entities have condemned Israel's actions, with Saudi Arabia denouncing it as a tool of extortion, Oxfam describing it as reckless collective punishment, and Egypt accusing Israel of using starvation as a weapon. The decision has raised concerns about exacerbating hunger in Gaza, where over 2 million people reside, with fears of a potential famine looming.
