Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has released a new report, "Choking Gaza : MSF’s humanitarian supply activities in a context of collective torture", documenting the supply restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities between October 7, 2023, and January 31, 2025.
From the outset of the conflict, humanitarian needs reached unprecedented levels, while security conditions, the collapse of the health system, and the destruction of infrastructure made emergency operations extremely difficult.
Insecurity, delays, logistical blockages, and the instrumentalization of aid severely limited the impact of the humanitarian response. This report highlights the arbitrariness and inefficiency of Israeli procedures for authorizing and managing the entry of essential supplies into Gaza, as well as the widespread subordination of basic humanitarian needs to military interests—factors that have severely compromised the scale and quality of MSF's humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip.
Faced with this reality and the considerable obstacles hindering its work, MSF continues to strive to provide humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, despite the deaths of thirteen of its colleagues since October 7, 2023, and the increasing burden of hunger on humanitarian workers themselves.
