Blockade of Gaza

The blockade of Gaza refers to Israel and Egypt restricting the movement of goods, people, and resources into and out of the Gaza Strip, a densely populated Palestinian territory. Aimed at limiting weapons and militant activities, the blockade has led to significant economic hardship, shortages of essentials, and limited access to healthcare and infrastructure for Gaza’s residents. While intended for security, it has also raised international concerns about its humanitarian impact, affecting civilians who often face hardships despite efforts for humanitarian aid and negotiations.
