More than 100 humanitarian organisations, including Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), have urged Israel to end the “weaponisation of aid” in Gaza, warning that starvation is worsening. They say Israeli regulations introduced in March have blocked most international NGOs from delivering a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March. Aid worth millions, including 744 tons of rice, remains stuck. Israel says the rules protect national interests and prevent aid theft by Hamas. MSF condemned a “militarised food distribution scheme,” calling it a “death trap.” Gaza’s health ministry reports nearly 62,000 Palestinians killed and hundreds dying from hunger. (PC: BBC)
