UNICEF calls for expanded aid access to Gaza

The UN agency for children has called for expanded humanitarian access to Gaza to ensure the timely delivery of essential medical care and supplies, warning that the territory’s health system has been devastated by the war.

The agency said it is delivering life-saving medical supplies across the enclave, including to hospitals in Gaza City, but stressed that more access is urgently needed to reach those in need.

Gaza’s health system has been battered by Israeli bombardment, raids and recurring sieges, leaving hospitals barely functioning and running out of critical supplies as an aid blockade persists.

Police in Gaza say they detained several traders accused of price gouging

Authorities in southern Gaza say they have detained five traders and taken action against others accused of hoarding goods and violating price rules, as market inspections continue in Rafah and Khan Younis.

The police’s consumer protection unit said officers seized large quantities of food items and moved against traders who were not sticking to official prices. Another 12 sellers were summoned and made to sign pledges, it added.

Officials say the seized goods were put back into the market at regulated prices to help keep costs stable for residents. Police said they will keep up market checks and warned they’ll take firm action against anyone trying to exploit the dire economic situation.

Gaza remains under tight Israeli control, with food, fuel, and medicine still in critically short supply. Prices have surged across the enclave, and while limited aid trucks have entered since the latest ceasefire, the United Nations says the deliveries are nowhere near what is needed to meet the needs of 2.3 million people.

Gaza health official says living conditions unchanged despite ceasefire

A senior health official in Gaza says that living conditions have not improved since the ceasefire took effect earlier this month, with food supplies still insufficient and lacking variety.

Raafat al-Majdalawi, director-general of the al-Awda health and community association, said essential food, medicine and supplies remain scarce across the territory, where Israeli forces continue to seal border crossings and limit the entry of aid at scale.
