Overview

• Israel has stopped all aid deliveries to Gaza, citing Hamas's rejection of a U.S.-proposed ceasefire extension through Ramadan and Passover.
• The proposed extension requires Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages immediately and the rest after a permanent ceasefire agreement is reached.
• Hamas accuses Israel of violating the original ceasefire terms, which called for immediate negotiations on a second phase involving hostages, Palestinian prisoners, and Israeli withdrawal.
• Egypt, a key mediator, criticized Israel's decision, urging full compliance with the original agreement and calling for international pressure to resume aid deliveries.
• The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with residents facing skyrocketing prices and warnings of famine as international organizations call for the ceasefire to be upheld.
