Gaza health authorities say 118 people were killed and 760 people were injured while trying to get food staples like flour from aid trucks on Thursday, after Israeli soldiers opened fire.

The Israeli military claims most people were killed in a stampede of people around the trucks, but accounts from witnesses and medical workers say most of the victims were shot.

So what precipitated this deadly search for aid? How close is Gaza to famine? And what would it take to get food to the people there who are starving?

Yarden Michaeli explains. He’s a reporter with Haaretz based in Tel Aviv.
