Israel has recently blocked a truck loaded with tons of aid destined for Gaza because it contained scissors from children's medical kits. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) highlighted the incident as an example of the increasing restrictions on humanitarian assistance to Gaza, where the entire population depends on such aid for survival. According to UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, Israel's actions also included preventing the entry of resuscitation equipment and cancer medications into the Gaza Strip.
