Overview
- Hamas formally rejected Israel's ceasefire proposal, which demanded disarmament and hostages' release, calling for a comprehensive agreement instead.
- Israeli airstrikes have intensified, killing at least 70 Palestinians since Friday, with strikes targeting homes and displacement camps.
- The UN reports that 420,000 Palestinians have been displaced since March 18, with the blockade cutting off essential supplies, leading to severe malnutrition and near-famine conditions.
- Aid operations remain severely restricted, with 95% of humanitarian groups halting or reducing activities due to security risks and depleted resources.
- Efforts by Egyptian, Qatari, and U.S. mediators to revive ceasefire talks have stalled, with no progress on fundamental issues such as hostages, disarmament, and Israeli withdrawal.
