However, Israel is ferrying essentially every supply it receives into Gaza. According to COGAT, over 99% of shipments to Gaza are approved entry.
So what are the shortages?
The UN gives the answer: The world is not providing the supplies that the hospitals are requesting.
Here is a chart from the UN showing what percentage of specific Gaza health supply requests have been fulfilled by partners:
We see the same for disinfectants and other basics. It appears that a lot of countries are sending over medical supplies that are not needed, not working to provide what it needed.
This isn't Israel blocking aid. This is the hypocritical world who cries over Gaza but doesn't send over the supplies that Gaza says it needs.
There are other factors that rarely get reported as well. For example, the New York Times last week buried a little fact in paragraph 24 of an article that every medical professional in Gaza knows but none of them say on video:
Last month, Mr. Al-Qedra said he and his neighbors watched helplessly as armed gangs looted the nearby European Hospital. The crime was especially outrageous, he said, because it incapacitated one of the few hospitals still able to treat the constant flow of wounded.“What if a thief got injured? Where will he be taken? How would he get treatment?” he asked. “This hospital served the community and displaced people for more than eight months, and that good deed was repaid by simply robbing them.”The thieves, undeterred by onlookers filming them with their phones, dragged out loot like beds, stretchers and IV equipment, Mr. Al-Qedra said.
Where are the videos of the looting of this hospital? I don't remember seeing any of them in mainstream media, or even a story about them.
Politico, in an article about how evil the IDF is, even tried to spin the thieves as innocent, saying in a footnote to an article that "European Hospital is now empty, and has been looted by desperate people trying to survive."
