WFP says the window to push back starvation in Gaza ‘closing fast’
The World Food Programme is warning that the opportunity to push back starvation in Gaza is closing fast as Israel continues to restrict the entry of aid into the besieged enclave.
Samer Abdel Jaber, the WFP’s regional director, said the agency needs three things to address the hunger crisis in Gaza.
These are “multiple points of access and safe routes to reach families that are constantly being displaced; support from the international community to allow and enable humanitarian actors to do their job; and more than anything, we need a sustained ceasefire,” he said.

WFP teams are adapting in real time — setting up new distribution points, navigating extreme constraints, & using every safe route to reach people where they are.

Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital crippled by fuel crisis
Gaza’s largest hospital, al-Shifa, is facing a catastrophic collapse as fuel shortages force critical services to shut down.
Israel’s blockade has cut fuel supplies to the hospital, leaving only backup generators powering urgent care. Those are now running dry. This means kidney dialysis machines have stopped and intensive care units are barely functioning, leaving hundreds of lives at immediate risk.
Dozens of Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes since dawn
More than 30 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn today, sources in the territory’s hospitals have told Al Jazeera.
Among the deaths were six people killed in a drone strike on tents housing displaced people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Ten others, most of them children, were injured in the strike, medical sources say.
Another Israeli air attack on a house in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City has killed four Palestinians, including two children, a source at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

Israeli army kills Indonesian Hospital director, family
We are receiving reports from Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues that Marwan al-Sultan, the director of the Indonesian Hospital, has been killed along with his family in an Israeli attack in Gaza City.
The attack took place on a residential building southwest of Gaza City. His wife and children were also killed in the attack.
Al-Sultan was a key source of information from Gaza, reporting on the conditions of Palestinians in the north of the besieged enclave. He had repeatedly called on the international community to press for medical teams’ safety, including when the Israeli army laid siege or struck the hospital.
