The UN's humanitarian agency warns only a "trickle" of aid is getting into Gaza - Israel says 800 trucks are inside Gaza waiting for collection.

Since then, it has operated four main aid-distribution centers (compare this to the more than 400 that the UN and other traditional aid agencies once ran). The aid boxes themselves have been described by Palestinians as woefully inadequate as Gaza continues its slide toward outright famine.

The BBC has said it is 'desperately concerned' for journalists covering the deadly famine, who have been left 'unable to feed' themselves or their families

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says 33 people have died from malnutrition in the last 48 hours, including 12 children.

Abu Shabab even hinted at a future in politics: "We will be what our people want us to be. We will not impose any political system on their will."

In remarks on the House floor Thursday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) spoke about her amendment to stop funding for Israel's defense from being sent.

In a joint statement the countries call for an end to the war and the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

Humanitarian officials see a pattern of Israel retaliating against those who criticize its conduct in Gaza and toward Palestinians.
