As aid makes its way across the Gaza Strip, residents risk their lives in the arduous journey to receive supplies from the convoys or risk starvation.

Israel and Iran have agreed a ceasefire after a twelve day conflict. Meanwhile, Israel strikes in Gaza continue with the humanitarian crisis deepening.

Middle East Conflict

Aid convoys entering Gaza are resulting in hazardous situations for residents, with Israeli troops firing warning shots and convoys delayed at checkpoints. When aid is finally allowed through, large crowds gather in desperation, often leading to chaos and violence. Some residents report risking their lives to obtain basic supplies, and Palestinian health officials state that dozens have been killed attempting to access food aid. The breakdown of law and order has led to criminal gangs targeting aid recipients, and even airdropped supplies are often seized by the strongest or resold on the black market. Despite tactical military pauses intended to facilitate aid, many families in Gaza continue to struggle with severe food insecurity.

Aid delivered to Gaza leads to dangerous situations for residents

You're watching an aid convoy as it enters the Gaza Strip. It's kids, it's children. Israeli troops firing warning shots just inches away, according to the U.N. This aid convoy was held at an Israeli checkpoint for nearly two and a half hours, so by the time it is allowed to pass, thousands of people are ready to descend. Each face here is etched with fear and desperation. Nothing makes it to the United Nations warehouses. On the other side of the enclave lies another aid entry point, Zikm. Gazans call it the place of death. For most, there is an arduous journey to get here, and then a long wait, often crouched and afraid that death may strike. Suddenly, people start running towards danger. Food has arrived. Our cameraman hangs back for his safety. As people return, so do the accounts of horror at the crossing. This injured man says he's lucky he made it out alive. You go out to get a bag of flour for your family, he says, but you're the one that returns in a body bag. Amid global outrage, Israel says it is implementing tactical military pauses for 10 hours a day in limited parts of Gaza to allow more aid into the Strip. But even during these so-called pauses, fathers are risking their lives to feed their children. Three hours under fire and tanks beside us just to get this bag, he says. We want the aid delivered to our children safely, peacefully. Please end this siege on us and on our children. On this day, at least 60 people were killed trying to get food aid, according to Palestinian health officials. But the dangers don't end here. Criminal gangs may try to rob them on the way home. Some have armed themselves with household objects just in case. If they make it back, their families will eat tonight, a luxury here where a third of people go one or more days without food. Everyone here is afraid, even the aid workers. CNN spoke to a local Klansman who sent us this video. He says it shows his men providing security to an NGO. Loaded trucks speed down the road as the Klansman fired dozens of warning shots. This is seemingly the only way to ensure the cargo reaches its destination in Taft. Law and order has broken down here. That's why Israel says it is now allowing airdrops. But the UN warns these are inefficient, costly and dangerous. You can see why here. The goods land amid gunfire. Only the strong or armed will grab a box. I got nothing, this woman says. The man behind her adds, the criminals take it and sell it on the black market. This is not a solution. These chaotic, limited and deadly sites are now the only way most can get food. Children are left fighting over scraps. Many will go to bed with empty bellies tonight.
