The United Nations (UN) anticipates the initiation of an aid operation for Gaza “in the next day or so,” with trucks filled with life-saving supplies positioned near the Egypt-Gaza border. The UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths emphasized ongoing negotiations to ensure the swift delivery of aid to address the dire humanitarian situation. The UN estimates that over one million of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents have been displaced, and the need for assistance is increasing daily. Meanwhile, Israel continues its offensive against Hamas, with prospects of a ground invasion looming, and international leaders express concerns about the potential for wider regional conflict.
