For over five months, 15,000 boxes of children's cold and essential medicines have remained in a warehouse, blocked by Israeli authorities from entering the Gaza Strip.
The medicines have been denied access on the basis that small amounts of glycerin — a common ingredient in medicine and cosmetics — could be used by Hamas to create explosives. There has been no indication that Hamas has or would have the ability to produce such weapons.
Charities have sought clarification on what quantity of glycerin would be permitted, but Israel has refused to respond, leaving the medicines stranded.
