"Humanitarian Aid Politics: Challenges and Controversies in Gaza"

In Israel, a small movement has emerged to block humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza, with protesters arguing that aid is diverted by the militant group Hamas to fuel the ongoing conflict. Despite warnings of a food crisis and pockets of starvation in Gaza, Israeli authorities have limited aid access, leading to protests and blockades at border crossings. Experts warn that the politicization of aid could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe akin to the situation in Ethiopia's Tigray region, where a blockade resulted in widespread hunger and death.
