Aid agencies have warned that all residents in Gaza face the threat of famine after Israel imposed a severe blockade on the territory in March, blocking the entry of food, medicine and fuel, Al Jazeera reports.

Amid international pressure, Israel allowed some aid to enter Gaza last month, but aid groups have warned the amounts are inadequate.

Operations at the group’s aid distribution hubs were halted earlier this week following several incidents of deadly violence near the sites, in which Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian aid seekers.

In addition, the Israeli army issued a warning yesterday that threatened “extreme danger” to Palestinians if they approached any of the aid points between the hours of 6am and 6pm local time, or 0300 and 1500GMT (8pm PKT).
