        "summary": "Gaza is entering what officials describe as the most dangerous phase of mass hunger, amid prolonged aid restrictions and territorial controls. Gaza authorities say Israel is using food and other aid as leverage against over two million Palestinians; aid deliveries since the ceasefire have fallen far short of needs, with only about a quarter to 37% of required trucks reaching Gaza, and millions reliant on aid as food insecurity worsens.",
        "content": "<p>Gaza is entering the most dangerous phase of mass hunger. The crisis\nis being driven by increasingly limited humanitarian aid and expanding\nterritorial restrictions that deepen the economic and humanitarian\ndevastation in the besieged territory.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Palestine Chronicle, the warning was issued by the\nGaza Government Media Office amid fresh reports showing that prolonged\nrestrictions and territorial control have altered Gaza\u2019s geographic\nreality as well as its economic prospects.<\/p>\n<p>The situation, previously regarded as a temporary consequence of war,\nis now seen as evolving into a structural crisis with long-term\nconsequences.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaza Government Media Office said Israel continues to use food,\nmedicines, and humanitarian aid as leverage against more than two\nmillion Palestinians living in increasingly dire conditions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gaza authorities, aid entering since the ceasefire\nagreement remains far below needs. After the ceasefire was implemented,\nmore than 131,000 aid trucks were estimated to have entered Gaza.\nHowever, only about 48,600 trucks were realised, around 37 percent of\nwhat is required.<\/p>\n<p>The situation has deteriorated through May. In the period 1\u201318 May,\naround 10,800 aid trucks were scheduled to enter, but only 2,719 trucks\nreached Gaza. That figure is only about a quarter of what is needed.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaza authorities describe the policy they call \u2018drip-fed aid\u2019 as\ndraining food stocks and forcing reductions in various aid\nprogrammes.<\/p>\n<p>More than 250,000 families are now said to be wholly dependent on\nhumanitarian aid. Meanwhile more than 1.5 million people face an\never-worsening risk of food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is also accused of hindering the entry of meat, frozen foods,\nand other essential goods. Power shortages and fuel restrictions are\nexacerbating the situation by disrupting food refrigeration, increasing\nthe risk of spoilage and cases of poisoning and malnutrition,\nparticularly among children, refugees, and the elderly.<\/p>",
