Amidst ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, desperation mounts in Gaza as a US-brokered ceasefire inches closer. Palestinians blocked and emptied dozens of UN food trucks, highlighting the severe food shortage caused by Israel's blockade. A proposed 60-day ceasefire involves hostage releases and aid delivery, but the details of Hamas' response remain unclear. While some aid enters Gaza, the UN stresses the urgent need for increased food supplies to alleviate starvation fears. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes continue, resulting in significant civilian casualties.
