UN Urges Open Borders to Ensure Life-Saving Aid Amid Gaza Ceasefire Efforts
The United Nations emphasizes the need for open borders to facilitate life-saving aid in Gaza following the October 10 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, amid ongoing violence.
- The ceasefire, brokered by the US, began on October 10, aiming to reduce hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza City.
- The World Food Programme reported that urgent food aid is critical, as famine conditions threaten the population if border crossings remain closed.
- Despite the ceasefire, Israeli military actions resumed on Sunday, resulting in deadly strikes in Gaza due to alleged violations by Hamas.
