Overview

  • Steve Witkoff will travel this week to undisclosed European locations to negotiate a ceasefire and establish a humanitarian corridor into Gaza.
  • More than 100 aid organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières and Oxfam International, have warned of a spreading mass famine in the Gaza Strip.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 59,000 deaths, mostly civilians, since October 2023 and hospitals recorded 21 child fatalities from malnutrition in 72 hours.
  • Israel’s near-total blockade since March has created severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel while tons of aid supplies remain inaccessible in and around Gaza.
  • United Nations officials say indirect ceasefire talks in Doha and Cairo have stalled and urge an immediate pause in hostilities to avert further civilian catastrophe.
