Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has declared intentions to take full control of Gaza amidst a surge in airstrikes and military operations, which have resulted in significant casualties. As international allies—including the UK, France, and Canada—press Israel to increase humanitarian aid to the region, aid trucks have begun to trickle in after months of blockade. However, skepticism remains regarding the adequacy and sincerity of these aid efforts, particularly with criticisms from NGOs labeling new aid initiatives as politically motivated. The UN has welcomed the limited resumption of aid but emphasizes that it is insufficient to meet the vast needs in the besieged territory. As Israel intensifies its military offensive, questions arise about the balance between security objectives and humanitarian obligations.
