Ramadan in Gaza turns into disaster as Israel blocks all aid

Palestinian "Ramadan" in Gaza has been cut short, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to cease the entry of all entry the humanitarian aid into Gaza as phase one of the hostage deal ends, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

Hamas said on Sunday that Netanyahu's decision to halt humanitarian aid into Gaza is a 'cheap blackmail' and a 'coup' on the ceasefire agreement, urging the mediators to compel Israel to end the punitive measures against Gaza.

More than 60,000 children in Gaza will need treatment for acute malnutrition in 2025, according to United Nations estimates from Jan. 22. Israel's air and ground campaign has killed more than 48,000 Palestinians according to Gaza's health authorities, displaced almost all of its 2.3 million population and left Gaza a wasteland.
