- World Health Organization officials report that food supplies into the Gaza Strip are insufficient to address the dire nutritional needs of the population, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
- Bahaa Zaqout, Director of External Relations at the Palestinian Red Crescent, states that the situation in Gaza City remains catastrophic even two weeks after the Ceasefire commenced.
- Aid groups warn that certain areas of the Gaza Strip are experiencing famine, highlighting the urgent need for increased humanitarian aid to prevent further deterioration of health conditions.
