Can a humanitarian crisis in Gaza be prevented? | What will it take for life-saving aid to reach Gaza?
No food, no water, no fuel and nowhere to go. As Israel's bombing of Gaza intensifies, Palestinians are facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. What will it take for life-saving aid to reach the besieged enclave? And can a disaster be prevented?
Gaza is facing a humanitarian crisis of catastrophic proportions.
Israel's total siege of the territory has cut off supplies of food, water and fuel for more than a week.
Borders are closed, so aid isn't getting in -- and people aren't getting out.

So, what will it take for life-saving aid to reach the besieged enclave?
