Overview

  • Israel's two-month blockade has halted all humanitarian aid to Gaza, with major organizations like World Central Kitchen and the World Food Programme exhausting supplies.
  • UN agencies and rights groups warn that Gaza's population faces imminent famine, with acute malnutrition cases among children rising sharply since the blockade began.
  • Israeli airstrikes have killed over 100 Palestinians in the last 24 hours, as the government plans to intensify its military campaign and forcibly displace residents.
  • The U.S. announced a new non-governmental foundation to oversee aid delivery in Gaza, bypassing traditional UN frameworks and raising concerns about transparency and accountability.
  • First responders in Gaza report severe shortages of fuel, electricity, and medical supplies, leaving rescue and relief efforts on the brink of collapse.
