Daft question but how /why can Israel ban anyone from entering Gaza ? 

Because they surround it...its like an open air prison,  they stop food water and medical supplies at will, they are currently starving them to death..

So how come millions are still alive then one year on?

 

I didn't realise that rockets could be smuggled into open air prisons and vast amounts of tunnels be built.

More than 40% of people in Gaza will face "catastrophic" levels of hunger in the coming months, a global authority on food security warned Thursday.

The report emerged as Israel came under increasing pressure, including from its most important ally, the U.S., to allow more essential humanitarian aid in.

yes.....but it was only ever to be used as a token gesture "look at us trying to help the starving"..they new very well it wouldnt last...

if they really wanted to help the starving, why not stop supplying weapons  to the people that are committing genocide? its not rocket science

This is genuinely a great moment for anyone who hopes for an independent Palestinian state. One of the main blockers is dead.

 

Sadly, lots of the other main blockers are still in the Israeli government

 

Netanyahu says no Palestinian state while he's prime minister

 

Smotrich advocates more settlements in the West Bank to prevent a Palestinian state

I'd note as well that if I wished for or celebrated the deaths of Netanyahu, Smotrich or others of the same political stripe, I'd likely be banned from this and most other forums, whereas I'm allowed to celebrate the death of Sinwar.
