2023 Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip
Part of the Israel–Hamas war and the blockade of the Gaza Strip
Date
9 October 2023 — present (6 months, 3 weeks and 4 days)
On 9 October 2023, Israel intensified the blockade of the Gaza Strip in response to the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war and the 7 October attack on Israel by Hamas-led Palestinian militants.[1] Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a "total blockade",[2] blocking the entry of food, water, medicine, fuel and electricity.[3] Israel stated that the blockade would not be lifted until the hostages abducted by Hamas are returned,[4] while Hamas stated that it would release all Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of all Palestinian prisoners by Israel.[5] Later, Gallant changed his position of a complete blockade.[6] On 18 October 2023, United States President Joe Biden announced that Israel and Egypt had agreed to allow humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza Strip,[7] with the first supplies entering on 21 October 2023.[8] The blockade exacerbated Gaza's humanitarian crisis.[9]
In January 2024, Israeli authorities blocked 56% of humanitarian aid to northern Gaza.[10] On 9 February 2024, UNRWA's director Philippe Lazzarini said that Israel had blocked food for 1.1 million Palestinians in Gaza.[11]
