Overview

• Only 36 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, a fraction of the 600 needed daily to stave off starvation; UN agencies warn the territory is on the brink of full-scale famine.
• Hamas released videos showing hostages Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski visibly emaciated, with David saying he had not eaten for three days while digging his own grave.
• Hamas’s military spokesperson said the group is prepared to let the International Committee of the Red Cross deliver food and medicine to captives if Israel permanently opens a humanitarian corridor and halts airstrikes.
• Israeli air and ground operations continue to cause civilian casualties and obstruct relief, including the death of a Palestine Red Crescent staff member and injuries to three others in Khan Younis.
• Indirect negotiations for a 60-day ceasefire and hostage exchange have stalled after talks collapsed last week, despite U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff’s efforts to broker a comprehensive plan.
