The aid lifeline for Umm Muhammad and hundreds of thousands of other Palestinians is now under existential threat as Israel lays siege to Gaza once again.

Since March 2, 2025, the Israeli government has again blocked all aid entering Gaza, including fuel, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.

The UN’s food agency has warned that it will run out of supplies to help feed Palestinians in Gaza in just two weeks if Israel continues its total blockade of food and other necessities, putting the lives of millions of Palestinians at risk.

UK, France, and Germany demand Israel uphold ceasefire while warning its aid blockade risks breaching international law.

The food aid is what’s keeping us alive,” one Gaza resident says. As Israel halts aid going into the enclave, CNN’s Jeremy Diamond explores the impact on people who rely on this lifeline for survival.

Israel’s cutoff of food, fuel, medicine and other supplies to Gaza’s 2 million people has sent prices soaring and humanitarian groups into overdrive trying to distribute dwindling stocks to the most vulnerable.
