Overview

• Israel’s cabinet approved the first phase of the deal early Friday, with the ceasefire to take effect within 24 hours of that vote, according to a government spokesperson.
• The UN says 170,000 metric tons of food, medicine and other supplies are pre-positioned and its teams are prepared to begin operations once access is granted.
• Operational targets for the first 60 days include 500–600 aid trucks daily, food for 2.1 million people and specialized nutrition for about 500,000, plus a push to restore health services.
• The plan also aims to provide water and sanitation for 1.4 million people, bring in thousands of tents weekly ahead of winter and reopen temporary learning spaces for 700,000 children.
• UN leaders warn success requires unimpeded entry through multiple corridors, more scanners, at least 1.9 million liters of fuel each week, security guarantees and urgent donor funding, with only about 28% of a $4 billion appeal financed so far.
