Overview
- Roughly 90–130 aid trucks have entered Gaza this week, but UN officials say this is far below the 600 trucks needed daily to address the humanitarian crisis.
- Fifteen World Food Program trucks were looted overnight, and at least six Hamas guards protecting aid shipments were reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes.
- The UN warns that half a million Gazans face starvation, with widespread malnutrition, especially among children, as food and medical supplies remain critically scarce.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to bypass UN aid systems with a US-backed foundation, a move rejected by international humanitarian organizations for undermining neutrality.
- Ongoing Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 60 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, exacerbating civilian suffering and hindering relief efforts.
