Overview

• Jake Wood, the head of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, resigned, citing the organization's inability to adhere to core humanitarian principles of neutrality and independence.
• The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has initiated aid deliveries, aiming to reach one million Palestinians by the end of the week, despite losing its executive director and facing criticism from UN agencies and aid groups.
• Israel's military campaign in Gaza continues with intensified airstrikes, including one targeting a school-turned-shelter, killing at least 52 people, mostly civilians.
• Hamas has warned Palestinians against cooperating with the new aid system, which critics argue could exacerbate displacement and fail to meet local needs effectively.
• Negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remain unresolved, with Israel rejecting a US-mediated proposal that included hostages' release and a temporary truce.
