The World Food Programme (WFP) issues a dire warning of Gaza's impending collapse due to Israeli attacks obstructing the supply of basic necessities. WFP Deputy Director Carl Skau highlights critical issues,
including severe food shortages, overcrowded camps, and a lack of fuel, urging an immediate humanitarian ceasefire following the US veto of a UN resolution. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres invokes Article 99, emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire amid Israel's continued bombardment, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis with over 17,700 Palestinians killed and nearly 49,000 wounded. Humanitarian aid delivery faces obstacles, but the WFP tests a new inspection process at Karem Abu Salem crossing. Israel signals potential aid use at Karem Abu Salem, responding to UN pleas, while COGAT plans to open Kerem Shalom for inspection. Skau describes the chaotic situation in Gaza, stressing the collapsing humanitarian operation and the urgent need for massive intervention as Gazans face starvation, with nine out of ten not eating every day.
