Overview

  • Hamas has proposed a comprehensive agreement to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for a five-year truce, with discussions ongoing in Cairo.
  • Israel demands the return of all hostages and the disarmament of Hamas but has not yet responded to the truce offer.
  • Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have continued, with over 2,100 Palestinians reportedly killed since the offensive resumed on March 18, according to Hamas health authorities.
  • The UN World Food Programme has confirmed it has exhausted all food stocks in Gaza, while the WHO warns that medical supplies are critically low.
  • UN agencies and international leaders are urging Israel to lift the seven-week aid blockade, which has left Gaza’s 2.4 million residents at risk of famine and disease.
