💨 Abstract

Israeli authorities have imposed a new customs rule on humanitarian aid to Gaza, causing a sharp decline in food supplies. The rule requires relief organizations to complete a form providing passport details and accept liability for false information on a shipment. Relief agencies dispute this requirement, fearing legal problems if aid falls into the hands of Hamas or other enemies of Israel. This has led to a suspension of shipments via the Jordan route for two weeks.
