ISRAEL BLOCKADE LEADS TO RATIONING AND SHORTAGES

One month since Israel closed all crossings to Gaza for goods, all UN-supported bakeries have closed, markets are empty of most fresh vegetables and hospitals are rationing painkillers and antibiotics.
It is the longest blockade yet of Israel's nearly 18-month-long war against Hamas. This week, during the normally festive Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, many Gazans say they have gone hungry.
"This was the worst ever Eid for us," Um Ali Hamad, a displaced woman from Beit Lahia, told the BBC as she searched for food in Gaza City. "We can't eat or drink. We couldn't enjoy it. We're exhausted."
"We can no longer find things to eat like tomatoes, sugar or oil. They're not available. I can barely find one meal a day. Now, there are no charity food handouts."
"I only have one grandchild; he was born during the war. He's three months old and we can't find milk or nappies for him."

Israel to expand military operation and seize 'large areas' of Gaza
Israel to expand military operation and seize 'large areas' of Gaza
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz says the military will expand its operation in Gaza and seize "large areas" of the territory - incorporating them into what he described as "security zones."
In a statement on Wednesday, Katz said the expanded operation aimed to "destroy and clear the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure", and would require a large-scale evacuation of Palestinians.
It comes as local hospitals said at least 15 Palestinians were killed in the territory overnight.
The Hamas-run civil defence agency said first responders had recovered the bodies of 12 people, including children, from a home in the Khan Younis area.
There have been reports of extensive Israeli air strikes and shelling along the Egypt border and there is a growing sense that a new major Israeli ground offensive is looming in Gaza.
This week, Israel's military ordered an estimated 140,000 people in Rafah to leave their homes and issued new evacuation orders for parts of northern Gaza.

Hamas 'has quietly dropped more than 3,000 deaths' off its Gaza war toll - 'including 1,080 children'
Hamas has quietly dropped thousands of deaths from its count of the number of people killed by Israel in Gaza, a pressure group has claimed.
Salo Aizenberg, from the US-based Honest Reporting group, told the Telegraph that the terror group's March 2025 casualty update had removed thousands of people it previously listed as dead.
Hamas says that more than 50,000 Palestinians, including women, children and combatants, have been killed since Israel retaliated in response to the deadly October 7 attack.

At least 322 children killed since Israel's new Gaza offensive, Unicef says
Unicef said at least 609 other children were reportedly wounded during the same period.
"The ceasefire in Gaza provided a desperately needed lifeline for Gaza's children and hope for a path to recovery," said Unicef Executive Director Catherine Russell. "But children have again been plunged into a cycle of deadly violence and deprivation."
Israel launched its renewed Gaza offensive on 18 March, blaming Hamas for rejecting a new US proposal to extend the ceasefire and free the 59 hostages still held captive in Gaza.
Hamas, in turn, accused Israel of violating the original deal they had agreed to in January.
Unicef said "relentless and indiscriminate bombardments" had resumed in Gaza, with 100 children killed or maimed every day in the 10 days to 31 March.
