Overview

• Israel has authorized the entry of a 'basic' amount of food and medicine into Gaza after an 11-week blockade, aiming to prevent a famine crisis.
• 31 WHO aid trucks remain stalled in Al-Arish, Egypt, as military oversight delays the delivery of critical supplies to Gaza’s population.
• The blockade has exacerbated Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, with 57 children confirmed dead from malnutrition and 71,000 more at risk of acute malnutrition within months.
• Over 60% of community kitchens in Gaza have shut down due to supply shortages, leaving residents with limited access to food and clean water.
• Gaza’s healthcare system is near collapse, with major hospitals ceasing operations due to strikes and lack of resources, further endangering lives.
