The United Nations is preparing to expand humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip under a potential ceasefire, but uncertainty around border access and security remain obstacles. Negotiators in Qatar are finalizing details of a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas, with a truce expected to include a significant increase of aid into Gaza. The UN humanitarian coordinator for Gaza has met with Israeli and Palestinian ministers and discussed UN engagement in a ceasefire. The UN is in intense planning and preparation for when a ceasefire comes into play and how aid can be increased. However, challenges such as border crossings and security for aid distribution still need to be addressed.
