Israel’s blockade of Gaza may have been partially lifted – and a new US-backed plan to deliver aid has begun. But there are multiple indications that the plight of Gazans is rapidly worsening.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is supporting armed groups of Palestinians in Gaza in what it says is a move to counter Hamas. But officials from the U.N. and aid organizations say the military is allowing them to loot food and other supplies from their trucks.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and several allies were taken into Israeli custody while attempting to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, which is facing a food crisis due to the ongoing war with Hamas.
