Siege of Gaza

The Siege of Gaza refers to a period of intensified restrictions and military actions affecting the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian territory bordered by Israel and Egypt. It involves blockades that limit movement of goods, people, and resources, often citing security concerns. This containment has led to economic hardship, shortages of essentials like food and medicine, and restricted access to medical and humanitarian aid. The term also relates to military operations targeting militant groups. The situation is complex, rooted in longstanding political conflicts, and has significant humanitarian implications for the residents of Gaza.
