UN chiefs appeal to Benjamin Netanyahu for humanitarian aid in Gaza, West Bank, and Lebanon amid critical shortages and potential famine. The heads of the United Nations World Food Programme and UNICEF have sent a letter to Netanyahu urging him to alleviate the suffering of civilians in the region. The amount of aid entering Gaza has reached its lowest level all year, and a global hunger monitor has warned of a looming famine. Israel has denied allegations of a lack of aid and accused Hamas of hijacking humanitarian assistance.
