Follow AP’s coverage of the war in Ukraine atJERUSALEM (AP) — Israel has blockaded all entrances to the Gaza Strip since March.

While pummeling the strip with airstrikes, it has banned any food, water, shelter or medication from being trucked into the Palestinian territory, where the U.N. says the vast majority of the population is reliant on humanitarian aid to survive. Israel says the blockade aims to pressure Hamas to release the hostages it still holds. Of the 59 captives remaining in Gaza, 21 are believed to still be alive, U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday, revealing that three had died.Here’s a look at the humanitarian crisis spiraling in Gaza, through key statistics and charts:The current blockade has lasted longer than any previous Israeli halt in aid to Gaza

Thousands of trucks queue along the border of the territory, waiting to be let in. Community kitchens are closing down and bakeries are running out of fuel.

Moldova’s pro-Western President Maia Sandu posted a public message this week in support of Dan, saying Moldovans understand the value of being “part of the European family,” and urged Moldovans with dual Romanian citizenship to vote to ”protect what Romania has already achieved, but which is now under threat.”Hours after voting opened on Friday, Simion accused the Moldovan government of election fraud, claims that were quickly rejected by Moldovan and Romanian authorities. “These statements are intended to sow distrust and hostility, with the aim of influencing the election process,” Romania’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

In the first round on May 4, Simion won a massive 61% of Romania’s large diaspora vote, with his calls to patriotism resonating with Romanians who moved abroad in search of better opportunities.Claudiu Tufis, an associate professor of political science at the University of Bucharest, says Sunday’s result will likely boil down to turnout, which is often higher in the second round vote. “Turnout will be the key,” he said. He added that Simion lacks adequate experience for high office and fears he would quickly target civil society organizations.
