The situation in Gaza is escalating, with over 2000 trucks of humanitarian aid stranded at Rafah, unable to provide relief to the hungry and injured. A doctor was seen breaking in tears on AJArabic, highlighting the severity of the crisis. A series of briefings and meetings in the UK, attended by ambassadors from Palestine, KSA, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Qatar, along with MPs and organizations like Medical Aid for Palestinians and Caabu, have underscored the dire situation. The discussions focused on the worsening conditions, the need for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages and detainees, and the urgent requirement for aid to address starvation, disease, and the impact of settler violence in the West Bank. Over half of Gaza's hospitals have been forced to close, exacerbating the health crisis. The WHO has also been involved, discussing the health needs of the Gazan people with Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya and thanking Kuwait for its ongoing support.
