One aid group said the “ridiculously inadequate amount of aid” Israel was allowing into Gaza was simply “a smokescreen to pretend the siege is over.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is days away from implementing a new aid system in Gaza and plans to create a 'sterile zone' there, free of Hamas.

Palestinians in Gaza are on the verge of starvation and are desperate for aid. But, despite Israel officially relenting and publicly stating that it will now allow trucks to enter Gaza after a more-than-two-month blockade, only five aid trucks have actually entered the territory as of Tuesday night.
