The European Union struck a deal with Israel to facilitate the delivery of urgently needed food and fuel to Gaza. Ongoing violence has resulted in at least 82 deaths in Gaza, including children and women during an Israeli air attack. UNICEF condemned these attacks against aid seekers and warned of escalating malnutrition due to restricted aid. Hamas characterized Israel's actions as genocide and ethnic cleansing, calling them part of a systematic campaign against civilians amidst humanitarian crises.
Catherine Russell, director of UNICEF, condemned the Israeli air attack on aid seekers, calling the killing of families trying to access aid unconscionable amidst growing starvation risks.
The lack of aid means children are facing starvation while the risk of famine grows, with malnutrition increasing until life-saving aid is resumed at full scale.
Hamas condemned the attacks as part of Israel's campaign of genocide, describing the actions as systematic ethnic cleansing occurring in full view of the world.
