The interviews conducted by Human Rights Watch, a world-renowned organization, suggest Gazans are deliberately denied access to food and water
Many innocent civilians, particularly vulnerable children, are suffering from starvation and famine due to the 2024 military conflict in Gaza. None of the parties involved—aid workers, the Israeli army, or Hamas—are taking responsibility for this dire situation. Who is primarily responsible for the food shortage in Gaza?

In addition to restrictions on food entry, Israel's unprecedented heavy bombing—dropping more bombs in eight months than during World War II or the eight-year-long Iraq War—has destroyed essential infrastructure for food preparation and distribution, including bakeries, grain mills, and civic centers. This is another way in which Israel is responsible for the food shortage in Gaza.
According to more than two dozen humanitarian and government officials interviewed by CNN, Israel has imposed arbitrary and contradictory criteria for aid entry. The prohibited items include anesthetics and anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, ventilators, and water filtration systems. Other items stuck in bureaucratic limbo include dates, sleeping bags, cancer medications, water purification tablets, and maternity kits.
The IDF itself has indicated that they prevent the entry of certain items due to their potential dual-use. While the examples they provide may not include food items, this confirms the existence of a policy that is likely being interpreted arbitrarily.
