The Digest:
The death toll in Gaza has reached 60,034 amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, as the United Nations warns of a growing food crisis, with over one-third of the population facing severe hunger. Urgent humanitarian action is needed to avert famine.
Key Points:
- Gaza's health ministry reports 60,034 deaths, with 145,870 injured.
- The UN’s IPC report labels the situation as a "worst-case scenario," with widespread hunger affecting more than a third of Gaza’s population.
- Many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible due to continued fighting
- Restrictions on essential supplies have deepened the food crisis, exacerbating the humanitarian emergency.
- US President Trump acknowledges the dire situation, calling for action, while Israel claims to facilitate aid entry.
- Media personnel in Gaza face difficulty feeding themselves amid the blockade.
With hunger spreading rapidly, the UN emphasizes that only unimpeded humanitarian access and an end to hostilities can prevent further suffering in Gaza.
