The UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, has issued a dire warning that 14,000 babies in Gaza could die within 48 hours unless critical aid reaches them immediately. Despite Israel ending an 11-week blockade, only five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday, and the supplies have not yet reached civilians. Fletcher stressed the urgent need for relief during an interview with the BBC. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 38 Palestinians overnight. The UK, France, and Canada have urged Israel to halt its renewed offensive and allow more aid. Netanyahu insists the war could end if Hamas releases hostages. (PC: BBC)
