💨 Abstract

Israel has enforced a blockade on the Gaza Strip since March, prohibiting food, water, shelter, and medication from entering the Palestinian territory. The U.N. reports that 90% of the population relies on humanitarian aid to survive. Israel aims to pressure Hamas to release hostages it still holds, with 59 captives remaining, 24 of whom are believed to be alive.
