Summary

The international community faces a dire challenge as Gaza braces for potential famine after weeks of blocked humanitarian aid. Reports of at least two deaths and several injuries emerged following an attack on an UN warehouse in central Gaza, where supplies were dwindling. Despite a recent end to the 11-week blockade, Israel has only provided meager assistance, with aid groups warning it’s insufficient. The UN and other actors are at odds over how much aid can reach Gaza safely, while local attacks have resulted in at least 30 killed in just two days.
