Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City that absolutely no aid has entered for a fourth day.

“The impact is everywhere. Markets are depleting right now. They’re running out of basic essentials, and whatever is available is too expensive for people to afford.

“It’s not just about the food. Hospitals are struggling to operate with little to no medical supplies at all. Doctors have approached us, telling us how they’re running out of basic supplies, antibiotics and painkillers,” he said.

“It’s making their ability to provide medical care quite difficult.”
