How does humanitarian assistance enter Gaza? | Inside Story

Описание: Before Israel's war, most of the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza were already dependent on humanitarian assistance.
After four and a half months of a total siege, compounded by an intense bombing campaign, the situation is dire.
Access to aid has been a major aspect of the conflict -- Israel first blocking it, then maintaining tight control over deliveries, and now it's accusing UN agencies of failing to distribute it.
So, what mechanisms are in place for Israel to ensure food and humanitarian assistance reaches the millions of people the UN says are at risk of starvation?
