Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza: Starvation and Fuel Shortages Worsen as Conflict Escalates

Oxfam has accused Israel of using starvation as a "weapon of war" in Gaza, as supplies of food, water, electricity, and fuel have been cut off. The organization called for essential goods to enter the besieged territory and warned of a humanitarian catastrophe. UN officials have also pleaded for more aid trucks to be allowed into Gaza, where only 2% of the food that would have been delivered has entered since the total siege began. Oxfam stated that about 104 trucks a day would be needed to overcome the urgent food crisis.
