**The humanitarian dilemma in Gaza: aid convoys blocked by Israel**
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening, with essential food aid convoys consistently being denied access by Israeli authorities, as reported by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
Northern Gaza is the region most severely impacted by food shortages, due to the concentrated efforts of the Israeli army during the initial days of the conflict.
According to a recent UNRWA report, between April 1 and 19, Israel rejected at least 27 aid missions out of 81 that required coordination in both the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip. The last delivery of food supplies to the region was on January 23.
An Israeli agency responsible for inspecting convoys entering Gaza claimed to be collaborating with various humanitarian organizations, including UN agencies, particularly in the north.
Despite an average of 186 aid trucks entering Gaza daily through the Kerem Shalom and Rafah border crossings since April 8, UNRWA notes that there has been minimal improvement in the volume of humanitarian supplies reaching Gaza, especially in the north.
Human rights organizations have repeatedly raised concerns about the limited impact of aid due to Israel’s strict restrictions on Gaza. The distribution of relief within Gaza has been a point of contention, with Israeli agencies accusing the UN of inefficiencies in aid distribution, leading to aid trucks being reportedly stranded.
The blockade of food aid convoys underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where thousands rely on this vital assistance for survival. Without easing Israel’s restrictions, the situation is expected to deteriorate, leaving Gazans trapped in a cycle of suffering and deprivation.
