Is aid getting into Gaza?

Asked 8 hours ago

Answer

Aid is entering Gaza but remains critically insufficient and dangerous to access. Airdrops and limited truck deliveries are not meeting the population's needs, with chaos, violence, and restrictions hindering effective distribution. Many families face starvation, and humanitarian groups warn only a large-scale, organized land delivery can address the crisis.
