Washington Post: Gazans Suffer Catastrophic Hunger Crisis Under Israeli Blockade

The Washington Post, in its Wednesday issue, reviewed the suffering of the Palestinian people and their struggle to obtain essential food supplies.

The newspaper noted that the two-month-long Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip has plunged the Strip into a new hunger crisis, leaving shelves empty and aid stocks empty.

The newspaper explained in a news report that the Israeli blockade has erased the humanitarian gains achieved during the brief ceasefire earlier this year, as no food, fuel, aid, or commercial goods have entered Gaza since March 2, after the first phase of the truce ended.

Israel claimed it was imposing the blockade to pressure Hamas, which rules the Strip and attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, prompting Israel to respond with a war that has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians.
