Israel's Halt to Food and Aid Deliveries Worsens Gaza Conditions
The suspension of goods entering Gaza is taking a toll on the Palestinian enclave, with bakeries closing, food prices rising, and a cut in electricity supply that could deprive people of clean water.

The Palestinian Water Authority warns that the decision will result in environmental and health risks.
