Attack on Gaza City Aid Convoy Deeply Troubles Red Cross

A humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza City, organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), was attacked, damaging two trucks and injuring a driver. The ICRC expressed deep concern and reminded all parties of their obligation to protect humanitarian workers. The source of the attack was not identified. The convoy altered its route to deliver medical supplies to al-Shifa Hospital and accompanied critically wounded patients to the Rafah crossing. Hospitals in Gaza have been struggling to operate due to shortages of fuel and medical supplies, with the UN warning that essential services are nearing a breaking point.

"Escalating Chaos: Gazans Overrun Aid Centres in Israel-Hamas War"

Thousands of Gaza residents broke into UNRWA warehouses and distribution centers, seizing flour and essential supplies, signaling a breakdown in civil order after weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza. Aid supplies have been limited since Israel's bombardment began in response to a deadly attack by Hamas. UNRWA stated that the current system for humanitarian convoys into Gaza is inadequate, leaving communities in dire need while aid remains insufficient and inconsistent. The organization's ability to assist people in Gaza has been strained by airstrikes that have killed over 50 of its staff and restricted supply movement. Even before the conflict, UNRWA's mandate was jeopardized due to a lack of funding.

Tragic Loss: WFP Staffer Fatally Shot in Yemen

A Jordanian national working for the World Food Programme (WFP) in Yemen was shot and killed in Turbah. The identity of the assailants is unknown. The city of Taiz, where the WFP staffer was due to assume a new role, has been under siege by Houthi rebels for seven years, leading to a blockade of essential goods and humanitarian supplies. The UN estimates that 17 million people in Yemen are food insecure, and WFP's food assistance is crucial to prevent potential famine. The agency described the deceased staffer as a dedicated humanitarian, and his loss is a profound tragedy for the organization and the humanitarian community.
