“On March 2, less than 48 hours after Ramadan began, Israel shut all crossings into Gaza, preventing the entry of humanitarian aid and fuel. A week later, Israel cut off remaining electricity supplies to the enclave, forcing the scaling down of a desalination plant that was providing drinking water to half a million Palestinians in central and southern Gaza. No food has entered the Strip for more than two weeks, making it increasingly difficult for residents to put together a meal to break their fast each evening.”
