The International Committee of the Red Cross says Palestinians are now facing a daily struggle to survive and are appealing to Israel to reopen the humanitarian corridors. Israel halted all aid into Gaza on March 2nd, just days before the collapse of a ceasefire with Hamas.

The United Nations has repeatedly warned of a humanitarian catastrophe and says the blockade is collectively punishing children, women and the elderly.
