"Gaza's Acute Malnutrition Crisis Worsens as Israel Prepares for Ceasefire Talks"

The UNRWA reports a worsening hunger crisis in northern Gaza, with one in three children under two acutely malnourished, as Israel prepares to send a delegation to Qatar for new ceasefire talks with Hamas. Efforts to secure a temporary ceasefire have failed, and Israel plans a new offensive against an Hamas stronghold in Rafah. The Hamas proposal for a ceasefire with an exchange of hostages and prisoners has been met with skepticism by Israel, which is only willing to negotiate a temporary truce. The conflict has led to widespread destruction, a hunger crisis, and calls for increased humanitarian aid.
