If the new sea route is successful, it may help to ease the hunger crisis affecting Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of people face malnourishment
The first ship carrying food aid reached the coast of the Gaza Strip on Friday, where hopes for a ceasefire to rescue the population from starvation suffered a new blow after Israel rejected the latest truce counterproposal from Hamas.
and hospitals in the worst-stricken northern areas have reported children dying of starvation. Like earlier offers from both sides over the past two months of talks, the Hamas proposal, reviewed by Reuters, envisions the release of dozens of Israeli hostages in return for hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli jails.
The United Nations says all of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are suffering from a food crisis and a quarter of them are on the precipice of famine, especially in the north. In one of the worst reported incidents yet, Gaza health authorities reported at least 21 people had been killed and 150 wounded on Thursday night, blaming Israeli forces for opening fire into a crowd queuing up for food at a road junction near Gaza City.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish official in the United States and a leader of Biden’s Democratic Party, called on Thursday for Israelis to hold an election and replace Netanyahu.
