Is aid getting into Gaza?

Asked 1 day ago

Answer

Aid is entering Gaza by land, air, and sea, but deliveries are insufficient and face significant obstacles, including rejections and long delays at borders. Some aid is reaching people, but not enough to meet urgent needs, and malnutrition remains widespread.
