As preliminary peace talks kick off in Egypt, Gaza faces a fragile calm with reduced Israeli airstrikes—but deadly violence persists. UN humanitarians report 21 deaths and 96 injuries in just 24 hours, underscoring the urgent need for relief. 🚑
Despite blocked missions and limited access, aid workers are pushing boundaries: installing solar panels, distributing 885,000 meals daily, and scrambling to support families fleeing north to overcrowded south Gaza. Some are even sheltering in garbage dumping sites like Al Amal. 🏕️
Big move: The UN just allocated $9 million to fuel life-saving services. But with only 12 kitchens operational in the north and displacement camps bursting, the clock is ticking. ⏳
‘We’re ready to roll,’ says UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric, highlighting thousands of metric tonnes of aid waiting at Cyprus and Ashdod port. ‘Once crossings open, we’ll move.’ 🚚
For now, Gaza’s survival hinges on diplomacy—and whether the world’s promises turn into action. 💡
