The U.N. World Food Program announced it reached one million Palestinians in Gaza during the first phase of the ceasefire. Despite this milestone, negotiations for the second phase seem stalled, with no significant progress reported by Hamas officials. The ceasefire, which paused 15 months of intense conflict, included a prisoner exchange but is set to expire without new agreements. Efforts in Cairo involving Israeli, Qatari, Egyptian, and U.S. officials aim to further discussions, but Hamas' representative expressed uncertainty regarding future talks. The ongoing war began with a deadly attack by Hamas on October 7, which has led to a high death toll among Palestinians from Israeli military actions.
The U.N. food agency, the World Food Program, stated on social media that it reached 1 million Palestinians across Gaza during the ceasefire's first phase.
Talks on the second phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have made no progress so far, raising uncertainty about future negotiations, according to a senior Hamas official.
Hamas' representative Basem Naim reported that negotiations for a solution saw 'no progress' before Israeli negotiators returned home.
Since the war began with Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, Israeli military operations have resulted in over 48,000 Palestinian deaths, according to health officials in Gaza.
