Overview

  • Israel has implemented daily humanitarian pauses from 10:00 to 20:00 in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Al-Mawasi, and opened secure corridors from 06:00 to 23:00 for aid convoys.
  • The IDF resumed airdrops of flour, sugar and canned food, but ground deliveries average about 70 UN trucks per day, far below the 500 trucks needed to meet basic needs.
  • The Gaza Health Ministry reports 147 recent malnutrition deaths, including 88 children, as one in three residents endures days without food and 90,000 women and children require urgent nutrition treatment.
  • President Trump publicly acknowledged widespread starvation in Gaza and pledged to establish unfenced food centers to improve civilian access to relief.
  • UN agencies, including the World Food Programme, insist that only a comprehensive ceasefire can secure predictable, large-scale humanitarian access and avert looming mass famine.
