Humanitarian aid in Gaza
Under continuous Israeli bombardment, Gaza is reeling from 3,000 dead and thousands injured. Badly hurt Gazans are rushing to hospitals that are running on scant fuel supplies. On Tuesday, a hospital was struck by a bomb, leading to hundreds of casualties and deepening the crisis.

Israel’s enforcement of a strict blockade has dire consequences for Gaza’s civilians.
