A draft UN report reveals that one in five households in Gaza are going entire days without food. The report also highlights that over half of households in Gaza have resorted to selling or exchanging their clothes in order to purchase food. This comes amidst ongoing pressure on Israel to improve aid deliveries to the region. The latest findings from the UN's hunger monitoring system, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), paint a grim picture of the situation in Gaza. More than 495,000 people, representing one-fifth of the population, are now experiencing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity. This includes extreme lack of food, starvation, and exhaustion. The report underscores the urgent need for increased assistance and support for the people of Gaza, as the risk of famine looms large over the territory.

Israeli airstrikes targeted a tent camp near Rafah in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of at least 25 people and injuring 50 others, according to Gaza health officials. The strikes caused significant devastation and loss of life in the area. The exact circumstances surrounding the attack and the identities of the victims are still being investigated. The violence in the region continues to escalate, with both sides suffering casualties and widespread destruction.
