Oxfam warns that minor aid steps by Israel can't undo months of deliberate starvation

Oxfam International has criticised limited Israeli moves on aid access, warning they fall far short of what's needed to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. 'Deadly airdrops and a trickle of trucks won't undo months of engineered starvation in Gaza,' said Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam's policy lead for Israel and Palestine. She called for the full reopening of all border crossings to allow unimpeded aid delivery throughout the Gaza Strip and demanded a lasting ceasefire. 'What's needed is the immediate opening of all crossings for full, unhindered, and safe aid delivery across all of Gaza and a permanent ceasefire,' Khalidi said. 'Anything less risks being little more than a tactical gesture.'
