All eyes on Gaza as aid teams retrieve first lifesaving relief in months

According to the UN World Health Organization (WHO) at least 57 children have reportedly died from the effects of malnutrition, according to the local health authorities. The number is likely an underestimate and is expected to increase if the aid blockade continues.

In their latest report, respected and UN-partnered food insecurity experts warned that nearly 71 000 children under the age of five are expected to be acutely malnourished over the next 11 months unless Gazans can access sufficient food and healthcare support.

Some flour reaches Gaza as blockade eases, aid groups call for more

(May 22, 20255:20 PM GMT+2Updated 39 min ago)

Flour and other aid started reaching some of Gaza‘s most vulnerable areas on Thursday after Israel let some trucks through, but nowhere near enough to make up for shortages caused by an 11-week blockade, Palestinian officials said.
Many other trucks were still at the border, and people were still waiting to receive food, amid fears that desperate crowds would try to loot the vehicles when they arrived, the Palestinian Red Crescent warned.

Fresh Bread Returns to Gaza for the First Time in Over Two Months as Limited Supplies Reach Bakeries Overnight

Published May 22, 2025

GAZA – A handful of bakeries in south and central Gaza, supported by the World Food Programme (WFP), have resumed bread production after dozens of trucks were finally able to collect cargo from the Kerem Shalom border crossing and deliver it overnight.

These bakeries are now operational distributing bread via hot meal kitchens. However, after nearly 80 days of a total blockade of humanitarian assistance, families still face a high risk of famine and far more aid is needed across all of Gaza.

France, Saudis seek to disarm Hamas, keep it as political entity – report

Reports have also indicated that there have been growing strains between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Emmanuel Macron over France‘s attempts to get more countries to recognize a Palestinian state.
