US EditionIsrael Says It Will Allow a Limited Amount of Aid Into Gaza After Nearly 3 Months of Blockade
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that his Cabinet has authorized the entry of a restricted quantity of essential aid into Gaza following almost three months of blockade.
- Israel enacted the blockade on March 2 to compel Hamas to agree to ceasefire conditions and to restrict militants' access to humanitarian aid amid escalated military actions.
- Aid shipments, including 20 trucks mostly carrying food, await entry at the Gaza border, but aid groups refuse to cooperate, saying the distribution plan won't reach the most vulnerable.
- Netanyahu said allowing minimal aid aims to prevent famine jeopardizing military efforts and stressed Israel would ensure Hamas would not control distribution or receive supplies.
- The decision responded to mounting pressure from Israeli allies concerned by hunger images; fighting and airstrikes, including a raid killing at least six people, continue in Gaza.
