Israel's 11-week blockade has impacted every corner of Gaza. Food, water, and medicine have been prevented from entering the strip. While Israel has promised to allow minimal supplies into Gaza -- the UN says Israeli-imposed restrictions have left aid still stranded at the border -- not in the hands of starving Palestinians. The United Nations has warned that thousands of children in Gaza are at risk of death because of the Israeli blockade. The UN also stated -- that one in five Palestinians faces starvation. The entire population, repeatedly displaced in Gaza, lives in near-famine conditions.
