There are reports of an economic and medical blockade of PoK, with no medicine and no food reaching the population.

Rationale
The claim — that there are reports of an economic and medical blockade with medicine and food not reaching the population — is accurate as a characterization of reporting: multiple Indian outlets (India.com, The Tribune, BBC Urdu/Dawn/AFP cited secondhand) describe restricted food, fuel and medicine supplies. Pakistan denies it, but the claim only asserts the existence of such reports, which is true.
