Aid groups: New Israeli restrictions 'weaponize' and 'block' aid deliveries to Gaza | DW News

More than a hundred humanitarian groups have signed a letter calling on Israel to stop what they call the "weaponization of aid" into Gaza. In the letter, the NGOs state that they have been unable to deliver supplies to starving Palestinians in Gaza for months. The NGOs assert that Israeli rules are preventing the delivery of life-saving food and medicines, which are stuck in warehouses on Gaza's borders. The letter calls on Israel to open all land crossings and ease restrictions. Israeli officials deny causing starvation in Gaza.
