Analysis by Yara M. Asi provides an overview of the state of humanitarian conditions at the beginning of its genocidal war on Gaza, placing this in the longer context of Israel’s blockade on Gaza and the effects of previous wars. Asi summarizes the immediate effects of Israel's "complete siege" on Gaza, with the barring of food, water, medicine, and fuel from entering the strip as of late October 2023. This article provides a snapshot into the nature of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip at the start of Israel's genocide in Gaza, as well as an early prediction of the devastation that would follow over the next few years. This source is helpful for research of the Gaza genocide, the blockade and siege of Gaza, public health, and Gaza as a humanitarian crisis.
