Israel’s cutting off the food, fuel, and drug supplies and other basic materials for two million people in the Gaza Strip has led to a sharp rise in prices, while humanitarian organizations are struggling and time racing to distribute the already decreasing stocks to the most vulnerable groups, according to the American Associated Press news agency.
The agency stated – in the context of a report prepared on the situation on the ground in the Strip since Israel’s recent decision – that the freezing of the entry of aid led to the fragile progress that relief workers say they have made it, to avoid famine over the past six weeks during the first stage of the ceasefire agreement that Israel and Hamas agreed last January.
She pointed out that after more than sixteen months of war, the entire Gaza population depends on food and other aid that reach them through trucks. Most of them have been displaced from their homes and many of them need shelter, as well as the urgent need for fuel to operate hospitals, water pumps, bakeries, and wireless contacts and cross trucks that transport aid.
Israel says that the siege aims to pressure Hamas to accept its sub -suggestion to the ceasefire, as Israel postponed the move to the second stage of the agreement it reached with Hamas and was supposed to continue the flow of aid.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he is ready to increase pressure and will not exclude the electricity cut off entirely if Hamas is not baffled, while human rights groups described the cutting of electricity as a “starvation policy.”

The agency quoted China Lu, Communications Advisor to the Norwegian Refugee Council, as saying: There is no large stock of tents in Gaza that the Palestinians can rely on while freezing aid, and that the aid that came during the first stage of the ceasefire was not enough at all to meet all the needs.
Lu added: “If it were sufficient, we would not have had children to die from cold due to the lack of shelter materials, warm clothes and suitable medical equipment for their treatment!”
Relief groups are now seeking to evaluate the stocks that they have in Gaza … Jonathan Krix, a spokesman for the United Nations Children’s Fund “UNICEF”: “We are trying to know what we have? What is the best use of our supplies?
