More than 11 million refugees risk losing access to humanitarian aid owing to a dramatic funding crisis, according to the United Nations refugee agency.

Merz stated that Israel's approach to Gaza is "no longer acceptable" and called for an immediate ceasefire as the death toll surpasses 58,000.

Hamas highlights that ongoing ceasefire talks are challenging, citing Israel's intransigence as a major barrier. Key sticking points include aid flow, Israeli withdrawal, and guarantees for a permanent ceasefire.

Over almost two years of genocide, Gaza has descended into famine and near-famine conditions on a semiregular cycle: people starve to death; after sufficient international outcry, Israel allows food to trickle in; the situation abates a little, until aid is cut off again.

According to reports, there are three main demands: an end to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), Israeli military withdrawals, and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

As we speak, aid is disappearing rapidly, putting the lives of nearly a million refugees at risk. We urgently need international support to avert catastrophe.
