WHAT: On 2 May it is exactly two months since Israel imposed a total siege on Gaza. Representatives from leading humanitarian organisations, including those who are in or just left the Gaza Strip, will brief the press on the devastating humanitarian impacts, as Palestinians facing starvation struggle to survive against the backdrop of a total siege which has blocked the entry of all aid – food, water, medicine, vital equipment – and commercial goods into Gaza.
Panellists will share testimonies on the unimaginable suffering people are experiencing as aid stocks run out and malnutrition rates rise and will renew their urgent call for a full and permanent ceasefire and the unfettered entry of aid.  
The situation in Gaza has become increasingly dire since Israel broke the ceasefire on 18 March and renewed bombings and ground operations. People are risking their lives as they search for food, water and shelter under bombardment.  
Areas of focus:  
 Depletion of essential supplies and food stocks from markets and aid agencies, and the impact on skyrocketing food prices. The resulting acute hunger and malnutrition, especially among childrenThe militarization of aidTargeting of medical facilities and the dire state of medical careChallenges on NGOs and partners’ ability to maintain work on the distribution and growing of food in Gaza. Dwindling stocks of food, twinned with the added crisis of having no fuel to cook with.With over 2 million people in Gaza reliant on aid, the widespread and acute impacts of the severe food shortages. The challenges of delivering humanitarian aid under Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
