Although Netanyahu has announced the lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, the UN accuses Israel of preventing the delivery of essential humanitarian aid

Two days after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip, the UN reports that humanitarian aid is still limited, with only five trucks reaching the territory. International criticism is growing, with Israeli opposition leader Yair Golan warning that Israel is becoming a pariah nation because of its actions. While Netanyahu claims the war began as a legitimate reaction to Hamas attacks, critics say the country is turning its policies against civilians. The military campaign continues, intensifying the suffering of Gazans as famine worsens.
