Gaza is facing a severe supply shortage, with a deficit of at least half a million tons of supplies like food and medical necessities due to the ongoing conflict. The enclave heavily relies on aid imports, which have decreased significantly since Israel’s invasion in response to an attack by Hamas on October 7. Various efforts, including aid deliveries by air and sea, have been initiated to address the shortfall, but experts warn that the current levels of aid are inadequate to meet Gaza’s needs. The situation has led to a looming humanitarian crisis, with up to half of Gaza’s population at risk of starvation.
