    Weak ass headline. IDF inspectors reject aid trucks at Rafah for any reason they can get. Cheaper than bombs, easier than bullets.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Aid officials in Gaza believe that “pockets of famine” already exist in the territory, with parents sacrificing remaining food for their children, an apple costing $8 (£6.30) and fuel for cooking almost impossible to find.

    UN agencies have said that Gaza urgently needs more humanitarian assistance as Palestinian authorities reported that the death toll in the territory during the Israeli offensive there had risen to more than 24,000.

    In Rafah and Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza, tents and makeshift dwellings cover almost all available ground, with multiple families crammed into apartments, in UN-run shelters in schools or sleeping on the floors of hospitals.

    Doctors in Gaza said that children, weakened by lack of food, had died from hypothermia and that several newborn babies with mothers who were undernourished had not survived for more than a few days.

    “We don’t have the numbers but we can say that children are dying as a result of the humanitarian situation on the ground as well as due to the direct impact of the fighting,” said Tess Ingram, a spokesperson for Unicef, in Rafah.

    In a report published three weeks ago, they also concluded that Gaza would have “the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity … ever classified for any given area or country” by the agency.
