Medical officials in Gaza warned that the enclave has entered a critical stage of famine, reporting new starvation-related deaths each day. The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex said the health sector is at its “most dangerous stage”, while the head of the Doctors Without Borders mission described the situation as outright famine rather than a mere food shortage. About twenty Emirati trucks carrying humanitarian supplies began crossing Egypt’s Rafah border gate into Gaza on Sunday, the latest in a trickle of aid deliveries that relief agencies say remains far below what is needed. In France, the Green party called on President Emmanuel Macron to deploy the French Navy to escort and deliver assistance, underscoring mounting international concern over access to food and medicine. Diplomatic efforts have stalled. Indirect talks aimed at a 60-day cease-fire and the release of roughly half the remaining hostages collapsed last week, according to negotiators. In Israel, relatives of captives said all abductees are in immediate danger and demanded a troop pullout from Gaza, blocking Tel Aviv’s Ayalon Street during weekend demonstrations. The war is also taking a toll on Israeli forces. Army investigations cited by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority show 16 soldiers have died by suicide since January, four of them in the past month, with most cases linked to prolonged deployments in Gaza.
