The Guardian view on the calls to save Gaza: Palestinians need deeds, not words | Editorial
Briefly

UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher has expressed grave concerns about the fate of thousands of babies in Gaza who face imminent risk of death if aid does not reach them soon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged external pressures regarding foreign perceptions of the humanitarian crisis but has only allowed minimal aid deliveries. Despite these measures, the situation remains dire, with the humanitarian needs of Gaza's population greatly exceeding what has been provided. Countries like Britain, France, and Canada are calling for a reevaluation of Israel’s actions amidst the escalating death toll and deteriorating conditions for civilians.
Tom Fletcher, the UN humanitarian chief, warns that thousands of babies are at imminent risk of death in Gaza unless aid reaches them.
Netanyahu's response to foreign pressure amounted to a trickle of aid supplies, insufficient for the vast humanitarian needs amidst ongoing hunger in Gaza.
The Israeli prime minister's announcement to restart minimal aid deliveries came after acknowledging that foreign leaders were distressed by the images of mass hunger.
The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 53,500 Palestinians, which researchers suggest may be a significant underestimate given the intensity of the conflict.
