And on the other side stand 3,000 UN trucks with aid, including food, water and medical help waiting to cross into the Strip.

They are not allowed in because of Israel's blockade.

Gazans are suffering slow and painful deaths from starvation or injury without pain-killers. Infections are not treated and babies are raised in grim conditions amid 550,000 tons of solid, stinking waste on the streets.
