History

Historical Context

The 2008 Gaza war’s ground offensive reduced daily aid trucks from over 600 to 73, displacing 1.4 million Palestinians. Israel’s 2007 blockade kept convoys at about 120-150 trucks per day. In July 2026 Hamas entered a Jabalia warehouse, endangering 150 aid workers while Israel controls roughly 60 % of Gaza, prompting tighter aid-site security.
