Overview

  • Only 90–100 aid trucks have entered Gaza, far short of the 600 daily needed to address widespread hunger and malnutrition.
  • Palestinian officials confirm 29 starvation-related deaths among children and elderly, with thousands more at risk as food shortages worsen.
  • Over 90% of Gaza's hospitals are non-operational, with fuel shortages reducing ambulance services to one-third capacity.
  • Aid deliveries have yet to reach civilians, with most supplies still held at border crossings and distribution hindered by logistical challenges.
  • International pressure mounts on Israel to lift the blockade and allow unimpeded humanitarian access, as global agencies warn of famine risks.
