The United Nations has issued an urgent warning that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die within 48 hours without immediate humanitarian aid. UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher emphasized the need to “flood” Gaza with food and medical supplies, describing the situation as “utterly chilling.” Although Israel recently allowed 100 more aid trucks to enter, only a few have made it through, and Fletcher described the current aid levels as a “drop in the ocean.”
Israel ended an 11-week aid blockade but continues to restrict supplies. Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated his goal of achieving “complete victory” over Hamas and said Israel must act in a way that “cannot be stopped.” At the same time, international pressure is mounting. The UK has suspended trade talks with Israel, while France, Canada, and the UK have threatened sanctions if the offensive and aid restrictions continue. The European Union is also considering suspending its association agreement with Israel due to the worsening humanitarian crisis.
France called Israel’s aid plans “completely insufficient” and expressed support for recognizing a Palestinian state. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday killed at least 50 Palestinians, including women and children, in Khan Younis and a school sheltering displaced families. These strikes are part of Israel’s renewed offensive, “Operation Gideon’s Chariots,” which has reportedly killed over 500 people in the last eight days.
