The amount of aid flowing into Gaza has significantly decreased in May, putting humanitarian operations at risk of closure and increasing the threat of widespread starvation. Aid trucks entering Gaza are falling short of meeting the urgent needs of the population, particularly in central and southern areas where many people have been displaced by the ongoing conflict.
Israel’s military offensive in Rafah has led to the closure of key aid crossings, further limiting the flow of critical aid into Gaza. Despite efforts to increase aid delivery through alternative routes, such as the port of Ashdod and the Erez crossing in the north, challenges remain in reaching those in need.
The International Court of Justice has emphasized the urgent need for unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance in Gaza. Efforts to increase aid deliveries are ongoing, but logistical and security challenges continue to hinder the distribution of supplies to those in need.
The closure of the Rafah crossing has further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with aid agencies struggling to reach vulnerable populations. Limited fuel supplies and inadequate water sources are also contributing to the deteriorating situation.
Efforts to increase aid deliveries and address the urgent needs of the population in Gaza are ongoing, but significant challenges remain. Aid organizations are working tirelessly to overcome logistical obstacles and ensure that essential supplies reach those in need.
