Challenges in Delivering Humanitarian Aid to Gaza

Getting food and other humanitarian aid into Gaza is hindered by multiple challenges, including Israel's ground offensive against Hamas and Egypt's refusal to allow aid through its border. The US has also faced difficulties with stormy weather disrupting aid shipments by sea. Aid is now funneled through the Israeli crossing at Karim Shalom, but the active combat zone poses safety risks for aid workers, contributing to a significant drop in aid reaching Gaza. Despite Israel announcing pauses in fighting to facilitate aid distribution, the decision faced criticism domestically, reflecting the complex dynamics surrounding humanitarian efforts in the region.
