Israel is bombarding Gaza City as it prepares for an imminent ground invasion, while international outcry mounts over a potential famine. The UK, EU, Australia, Canada, and Japan have urged immediate action to prevent starvation, citing an unfolding famine. The World Health Organization (WHO) is appealing to Israel for access to deliver crucial medical supplies. Meanwhile, residents report relentless air attacks causing widespread destruction and casualties, with the Hamas-run health ministry reporting over 100 deaths in the past 24 hours, including some from malnutrition. Israel denies the existence of a famine but has outlined a three-step plan to increase aid.
