Gaza humanitarian aid
Around 600 trucks carrying aid and fuel are supposed to enter Gaza every day under the ceasefire agreement, but the process remains extremely slow, allowing only a small number in. This is due to Israeli inspections delaying convoys at the border. A UNICEF spokesperson says over 1,300 trucks are outside of Gaza, urging all crossings to be opened by the Israeli regime so the necessary scale up can be met. The aid includes food, medicine, and shelter for the majority of Gaza's population who depend on it. While some bakeries and markets are reopening, the situation remains dire, with long lines for basic necessities seen in various neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the death toll in Gaza has risen to over 67,800 as more bodies are being extracted from under the rubble.
Gaza ceasefire deal
Israel says it will release the Palestinian abductees under the ceasefire deal only after all the 48 remaining captives held by Hamas are received. Twenty living captives along with the bodies of 28 others are expected to be handed over early Monday morning. According to Israeli officials, the captives will be transferred to the Red Cross and Israeli forces in Gaza before being moved to a military base south of the occupied Palestinian territories. Meanwhile, Israel says preparations are underway to transfer some 2,000 Palestinian abductees. This includes nearly 250 Palestinians serving long prison sentences and around 1,700 others kidnapped during Gaza genocidal war. Over two dozen children are also among those expected to be released. The IOF has warned the families of the abductees against holding any public celebrations.
Russia US warning
Russia warns the West of a dramatic escalation in the Ukraine conflict amid reports the US may send Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov called the situation extremely concerning, as the missiles are capable of striking targets up to 2 thousand 500 kilometers away. This means Ukraine could use them for long-range strikes deep inside Russia, including Moscow. Some variants of Tomahawks can carry a nuclear warhead, causing even more concern in the Kremlin. US President Donald Trump said he had “sort of made a decision” but wanted clarity on how Ukraine would use the missiles. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier warned that any transfer of Tomahawks to Ukraine would trigger a new stage of escalation, as their use would require direct involvement of US military personnel.
