The humanitarian scene in Gaza is getting more intense as Israel reaffirms its tough stance on aid. Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, emphasizing that this measure is a key tool to prevent Hamas from using the supplies in its favor.
In a clear message, Katz declared, "Israel's policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza." Since March 2, the policy has been firmly in place with no preparations underway to allow aid through.

This dramatic turn of events highlights the complex interplay between military strategy and humanitarian needs. ⚠️
