I’m going to try to give you the benefit of the doubt, Neil, that you are just under-or misinformed. There are many many sources which can provide you information about how Israel’s military has a blockade on Gaza. Are you familiar with the concept of a blockade? It means that they are restricting the movement of both individuals and necessary supplies into and out of Gaza. Israel also manages/controls (and restricts to well below international acceptable standards) water access to Gaza in the “best of times” (ie when they’re not mercilessly bombing children families and hospitals)

Here are some sources providing information regarding the reality on the ground in Gaza and how their lives are shaped/controlled by the Israel military. In case you’d like to claim bias, none of them are news orgs--they’re all HUMANITARIAN AID orgs.
