Aid groups scramble to help as Israel-Hamas war intensifies and Gaza blockade complicates efforts

Humanitarian groups are struggling to provide assistance to civilians affected by the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The intensified blockade of Gaza and ongoing fighting are making it difficult for aid operations to continue. The United Nations and other aid agencies are seeking more access to help Palestinians caught in the middle of the fighting. Medical supplies are running out in Gaza, and aid organizations are unable to bring in more due to the blockade.
