Israel has launched a significant military offensive in Gaza, resulting in numerous airstrikes and at least 85 Palestinian deaths. Despite allowing some aid trucks into Gaza, the supplies have not reached those in need due to complex security procedures. The UN reports that most of Gaza's population is in critical need of basic supplies, and experts warn of severe famine risks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has allowed limited aid under pressure from allies, while the UN and human rights groups criticize Israel's blockade as collective punishment and a potential war crime.
