A convoy of ships carrying nearly 400 tons of aid, including food supplies and machinery, is en route to Gaza to address a looming famine and critical medical care shortages. The shipment comes as humanitarian groups face obstacles delivering aid to Gaza, with only 10 hospitals partially functioning and thousands of patients urgently needing evacuation for medical treatment. Additionally, an explosion injured four UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, leading to rising tensions in the region. Israel’s military operations in Gaza have faced scrutiny, with concerns raised about raids on medical facilities and the escalating death toll. The Biden administration’s approval of a significant arms transfer to Israel has sparked criticism, while ongoing violence has resulted in a substantial number of casualties in Gaza.
