The International Court of Justice supports aid groups' claims that Israel obstructs aid to Gaza through inspection backlogs and denials. Israel allows only 150 trucks per day into Gaza, a significant decrease from before. International efforts aim to increase aid distribution in Gaza, with calls for more trucks to deliver food and medical supplies. Israel is accused of impeding aid delivery by creating bureaucratic obstacles and controlling the crossings. Despite some new shipment routes, aid deliveries remain limited, leading to widespread starvation and imminent famine in Gaza.
Hundreds of trucks loaded with food and medical aid sat idle on the roads heading into Gaza recently as a senior humanitarian official accused the Israeli government of blocking lifesaving supplies from reaching the devastated enclave. https://t.co/XLKWnsVbc8
This data is a manipulated, @CNN. The 500 trucks a day pre-war figure included trucks of import and export carrying building materials and industrial supplies. Only an average of 70 food trucks a day entered Gaza pre-war, the average number of food trucks entering Gaza now - 140. https://t.co/63F5FuNZfN
Amid warnings of “imminent” famine in the enclave, humanitarian officials say Israel is obstructing the entry and distribution of aid. https://t.co/1Vi6lxR3uN
Amid warnings of “imminent” famine in the enclave, humanitarian officials say Israel is obstructing the entry and distribution of aid. Israel denies this. https://t.co/PGkcj838Ou
A number of trucks filled with humanitarian aid enters the north of Gaza amidst the ongoing famine. https://t.co/R8WVEvCeS5
Gaza: The @WFP says "only 11 of its convoys carrying food had reached the north since the start of the year. "The route is sometimes blocked by roads damaged by Israeli bombardment, Israeli checkpoints or battles between Hamas fighters and Israeli troops." https://t.co/VDMT36br7C
Hundreds of trucks full of aid sit idle near border with Gaza as crisis deepens https://t.co/kPYkk6OVDN
For months, Palestinians, top UN officials and human rights groups have unequivocally argued that Israel is “using starvation as a weapon of war” and “engineering a famine.” The New York Times continues to obscure and minimize Israel’s responsibility for the famine.

Israel touts its willingness to allow "new shipment routes by land, air and sea" into Gaza, but it hasn't abandoned its starvation strategy. Deliveries "have been very limited" -- enough to avoid mass death but not to avoid starvation and imminent famine. https://t.co/wwdsac60Lv
People in Gaza are starving. Why is it so hard to get aid to them? https://t.co/2TruNGhEOB
Hundreds of trucks loaded with food and medical aid idled on roads heading into Gaza recently as a senior humanitarian official accused Israel of blocking supplies from reaching the devastated enclave. https://t.co/I2YgkSEzCI
Whilst laudable, the only way to avoid famine is aid on trucks through ALL the crossings. Israel controls them & the international community must find a solution: BBC goes onboard plane dropping US aid into war zone https://t.co/U17ykcEJ1A
Between 150 to 200 trucks enter Gaza each day, most of which are food trucks. This is an 80% increase as compared with the average number of food trucks that entered Gaza before October 7.
Israel touts a series of small initiatives to deliver food to the starving Palestinian civilians of Gaza, but none is a substitute for substantially scaling up deliveries by truck, which Israel continues to impede with all sorts of bureaucratic obstacles. https://t.co/O1lsKetWdi
No wonder there is widespread starvation in Gaza: Israel is allowing in a measly 150 trucks per day," which is "nearly 70 percent less than the number before Oct. 7." Yet Israel blames everyone else for its (war crime) starvation strategy. https://t.co/PoqmUsNrcJ

The International Court of Justice endorsed the view of aid groups that blame Israel's obstruction of aid on "inspection backlogs at the few open border crossings...and outright denials of missions to bring in food, fuel and sanitation supplies." https://t.co/8wuubuM7DU
