Israel has imposed a complete blockade on Gaza, cutting off food and fuel supplies after a ceasefire agreement with Hamas collapsed. The move raises fears of renewed violence and intensifies the humanitarian crisis in the already devastated territory.
Israel intensified its military pressure on the Gaza Strip, imposing a complete blockade on all supplies, including food and fuel, after a ceasefire agreement with Hamas collapsed. The move sparked fears of a renewed conflict and heightened humanitarian concerns for the 2.3 million Gaza ns who are already struggling in the aftermath of a 15-month war.
\The breakdown of the ceasefire, initially implemented in January, came after Israel rejected Hamas's demand for a permanent withdrawal and an end to the conflict. Hamas, in turn, refused to release more hostages without concrete negotiations on Gaza's future. As tensions escalated, Israel announced a total blockade on all supplies to Gaza, claiming it was a response to Hamas's violation of security restrictions. \The blockade has triggered panic and desperation among Gazans as food and fuel supplies dwindle rapidly. Residents reported empty shops and a sharp surge in prices, with a sack of flour doubling in price overnight. The Israeli military confirmed it had targeted suspected Hamas operatives in the Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties. Palestinian officials, meanwhile, expressed concerns over the escalation and called for international intervention to prevent a full-blown war.
