Israeli Activists Block Aid to Gaza in Protest

Israeli protesters, including settlers, families of hostages, and deactivated military reservists, are attempting to block aid trucks from entering the Gaza Strip until all remaining hostages are released by Hamas. Despite police efforts to ensure unimpeded aid delivery, the protesters insist that no aid should reach Gaza until their demands are met. The protesters' stance has strong support in Israel, but the Gaza Strip is facing scarcity of food and drinking water, leading to rising malnutrition. Efforts to deliver aid via air and build a temporary sea port are underway, but road access for aid delivery remains crucial.
