Humanitarian aid

UN agencies warn millions face famine in Sudan, Gaza, Yemen, and other hotspots, calling for urgent funding as global aid cuts leave emergency responses crippled.

Opened under a government directive, the crossing allows UN‑coordinated aid trucks into Gaza after Defense Ministry inspections.

The recently discussed proposition of offering Israeli citizenship to some Gazans in areas controlled by Israel can be an opportunity to rebuild life.

Israel is still part of negotiations and "part of the conversation" on the aid distributions, but "decisions will be taken by the wider body," according to a US official familiar with the operation.

Minister of State Lana Nusseibeh said a maritime route channeling pre-screened aid from the East Mediterranean island was a vital lifeline to the people of Gaza.

Israel’s military released declassified intelligence alleging Hamas diverted humanitarian aid in Gaza and maintained links with Iran, UNRWA, and Al Jazeera during the ongoing war.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is expected to call a meeting with ministers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Pakistan, and Indonesia to discuss action on Gaza.

Trump's 48-hour deadline for Hamas to return hostages' remains prompts action, with Israel and the US pushing for serious steps if demands aren't met.

The organization cited Hamas violating the hostage deal, killing two IDF soldiers, and failing to return the killed hostages as reasons for blocking the aid.

Funding for the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation will allow the operation to continue until the end of November, when the new plan will most likely be implemented.

Additionally, while the WHO said the aid to Gaza is increasing, it is still only a "fraction of what's needed" as the health agency attempts to rebuild the region's healthcare system.
