Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, aid officials say, with hunger now reportedly affecting civilians as well as journalists, doctors, and other personnel on the ground.

The UN agency for Palestinians says it has thousands of truckloads of supplies near Gaza which it wants to deliver.

The United States is recalling its negotiating team from Doha, where talks on a ceasefire to end the war in Gaza have been taking place, with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff saying the latest response from Hamas “clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a ceasefire.

France’s decision has only added to calls on the UK government to recognise Palestine. A cross-party committee of British MPs said it plainly: “It seems that the Israeli government is not listening to the UK. And while it listens to the US government, it only does so sporadically,” per Yahoo News.

When Israel launched its controversial US-backed aid plan for Gaza, it aimed to stop Hamas’s alleged profiteering from the seizure and sale of humanitarian supplies.

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.

The evacuation order has cut off the coastal area of Al Mawasi, where thousands of Palestinians are living in tents, from the city to the rest of central Gaza, where most humanitarian organizations in the Strip are headquartered, according to a visual analysis by ABC News.

US mediators are heading home after Hamas allegedly showed a lackluster effort to reach a cease-fire deal with Israel on Thursday, President Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said.

U.N. officials, aid groups and experts have warned for months that Palestinians in Gaza are on the brink of famine without formally declaring one.

Against the backdrop of ongoing warnings of a deadly hunger crisis, some aid has reached the Gaza Strip, the United Nations said on Thursday. The UN confirmed that its teams were able to collect mainly flour at two border crossings on Wednesday and bring it into the coastal strip,
