Instead, they want Israel to open more border crossings to allow aid trucks to drive in. Israel is accused of limiting aid deliveries – despite warnings that people were starving. The limited amount of aid that has been delivered is not nearly enough for the 2.3 million Palestinian residents of Gaza. To complicate the…
