Israel is preventing up to 83 percent of food aid from entering the Gaza Strip nearly one year into its genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged enclave, according to a press release issued on 16 September by 15 humanitarian aid organizations.
[Eighty-three percent] of required food aid does not make it into Gaza, up from 34 [percent] in 2023. This reduction means people in Gaza have gone from having an average of two meals a day to just one meal every other day, the press release states, adding that An estimated 50,000 children aged between 659 months urgently require treatment for malnutrition by the end of the year.
