What does Israel halting aid mean for Gaza? Will it hamper ceasefire talks?

Firstpost  

Israel has stopped the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza. Aid agencies and human rights groups say this move could worsen the already deteriorated health situation in the region, and termed it as ‘unacceptable’ Trucks line up at the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip after Israel blocked the entry of aid trucks into Gaza. AP Israel has stopped the entry of all goods and supplies to the Gaza Strip and warned of “additional consequences” if Hamas doesn’t accept a new proposal to extend a fragile ceasefire. Hours after Israel’s announcement, five non-governmental groups asked Israel’s Supreme Court for an interim order barring the state from preventing aid from entering Gaza, claiming the move violates Israel’s obligations under international law and amounts to a war crime: “These obligations cannot be conditioned on political considerations.” Last year, the International Criminal Court said there was reason to believe Israel had used “starvation as a method of warfare” when it issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. On Sunday, Kenneth Roth, former head of Human Rights Watch, said Israel as an occupying power has an “absolute duty” to facilitate humanitarian aid under the Geneva Conventions and called Israel’s decision “a resumption of the war-crime starvation strategy” that led to the ICC warrant.
