Israeli protesters block aid to Gaza amid growing global criticism and hunger concerns

Israeli protesters gathered near Kerem Shalom border crossing on Wednesday (May 21) in an attempt to block trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza, as international experts warn of looming famine. Anti-aid protesters held signs and waved flags, saying they were "here to block the aid that is going in directly to Hamas in Gaza". Protesters were removed by police from the scene, which also saw pro-aid supporters who wanted to help police to free up the road and let trucks drive towards the Palestinians enclave.
Israel's stepped-up military campaign in Gaza has strained its relations with much of the world. European countries including France, Germany and Britain have said the situation in Gaza is intolerable, and even the support of its closest ally, the United States, now appears to be wavering. Israel denies that Gaza is facing a hunger crisis. It has said its blockade is aimed in part at preventing Hamas militants from diverting and seizing aid supplies. Hamas has denied doing so and accuses Israel of using starvation as a military tactic.
