On October 8, 2023, Israel intentionally started blocking the entry of food and medicine into Gaza from all land crossings. North Gaza especially is cut off from aid in such a drastic way that children have died from starvation. When Israel does let aid in, it sometimes targets the aid convoys, even though the route is shared with and approved by the Israeli army in advance. On February 29, 2024, Israel allowed an aid convoy into a starved North Gaza and waited for people to gather around the truck to receive food before opening fire. The attack killed 112 people and injured 760. Baiting starving people with food in order to kill them is a consistent pattern by Israel, with over 14 recorded incidents of shooting, shelling and targeting groups gathered to receive aid between mid-January and the end of February 2024.
