Israel has not allowed any aid to be delivered to Gaza since 2 March 2025 and no electricity shortly after. Food, water and medicine are running out, leaving thousands of Palestinians without basic necessities. The United Nations says people face “barely liveable” conditions.

The video below shows Al Jazeera’s report by Tareq Abu Azzoum from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Palestine. It features Clemence Lagouardat, an Oxfam humanitarian coordinator.

Note that this is just the latest in a long series of blockades which started in the early 1990s and which intensified on 9 October 2023 after the Hamas-led attack on Israel and the ensuing Gaza war. See Wikipedia for more information.
