• The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticized the minimal aid entering Gaza, describing it as a 'teaspoon' compared to the flood required to address the humanitarian crisis.
• Only 107 aid trucks entered Gaza on May 22, far below the 600 trucks per day needed, with looting further disrupting distribution to those in need.
• Stalled ceasefire negotiations led Israel to recall its high-level team from Doha, deepening the impasse as international pressure for de-escalation grows.
• Humanitarian agencies warn of famine risks, with nearly half a million Palestinians facing starvation and widespread malnutrition, especially among children.
