The remarks appeared to leave little to no room, at least in the short term, to resume negotiations to pause the fighting, at a time when international concern is mounting over worsening #hunger in war-shattered #Gaza.

French President Emmanuel #Macron, responding to the deteriorating #humanitarian situation in Gaza, announced overnight that Paris would become the first major Western power to recognise an #independent #PalestinianState. Britain & Germany said they were not yet ready to do so.

Doch wir hatten nicht damit gerechnet, dass der #Hunger ihr Leben in Gefahr bringen würde. Unterversorgung hat es seit Monaten gegeben, die Preise auf den Märkten und in den Geschäften sind bereits explodiert. Doch am vergangenen Freitag sagte Ghada erstmals, dass sie ein verabredetes Interview nicht rechtzeitig liefern könne: Sie sei vom Hunger so matt und entkräftet, dass sie nicht richtig denken könne, sie habe »furchtbare Kopfschmerzen«. Sie entschuldigte sich dafür. Über das Wochenende verschlechterte sich ihre Lage weiter. Als wir am Montag telefonierten, berichtete sie, langsam und mit hörbar schwerer Zunge, dass sie nur ein paar Löffel Bohnen und ein kleines Stück Brot habe essen können. Vom wenigen, das sie und ihr Bruder noch hätten, würden sie fast alles den Kindern überlassen. An das Geld auf ihrem Konto komme sie nicht heran, weil die Auszahlungsstuben enorm hohe Kommissionen verlangten. Sie fürchte sich vor den anderen hungernden Menschen auf der Straße: »Die Menschen hier werden zu Tieren.« Sie wisse, schrieb Ghada mir, dass sie stark sei, aber dass sie nicht gegen diesen schleichenden Tod ankomme. Sie verbringe die Tage damit, zu weinen – und sehr viel Wasser zu trinken, um zumindest etwas im Magen zu haben.

“There is no one in #Gaza now outside the scope of #famine, not even myself,” said Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, who leads the pediatric ward at Nasser Hospital in southern #Gaza. “I am speaking to you as a #health official, but I, too, am searching for flour to feed my family.”

The #WorldFoodProgram, an arm of the #UN, said this week that the #hunger #crisis in Gaza had reached “new & astonishing levels of desperation, with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row.”

Who will feed Americans after Trump’s cuts? This local food pantry is stepping up

Nationwide, 53 million people – 15% of all Americans – are food insecure, meaning they lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.

Food pantries, non-profits, and school feeding programs distributed almost 6bn meals’ worth of free food in every state in the US last year.

"Israel’s government is pursuing an 'unacceptable and morally unjustifiable' policy in Gaza, the Catholic Latin patriarch of Jerusalem has said after visiting a church in the territory that was attacked by Israeli forces last week and meeting survivors."

"Israel is facing intensifying international condemnation for its killing of starving Palestinian civilians in Gaza, and its attacks on humanitarian efforts, as the UN secretary general, António Guterres, said the 'last lifelines keeping people alive [in the strip] are collapsing'."

The Guardian · Global outcry grows over Israel’s killing of starving civilians in GazaBy Peter Beaumont

The Guardian offers a grim visual examination of the militarized aid distribution centers in Gaza run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which are said to be "death traps" leading hungry people desperate for food to death at the hands of the Israeli army.

The Guardian · Eleven-minute race for food: how aid points in Gaza became ‘death traps’ – a visual storyBy Kaamil Ahmed

News: "The Trump Administration is about to destroy 500 tons of emergency food." In response, Chef Jose Andres wrote: "A waste of food. A waste of lives. A waste of American resources and power. We must find a way to buy and distribute this food on behalf of the American people. I will pay for it personally. Pres. Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, what happened to your Christian faith?"
