"Humanitarian Aid Efforts Escalate as Ships Head to Gaza Amid War and Famine Fears"

The first humanitarian aid ship using a new maritime corridor departed Cyprus and headed to Gaza, where more than 2 million people face an increasing threat of starvation. The vessel, carrying 200 tons of food, is the first shipment of aid sent by sea to the war-torn territory since the conflict began. Meanwhile, the U.S. announced plans to construct a floating pier on the coast of Gaza to deliver 2 million daily meals, and negotiations for a cease-fire and hostage deal remain stalled. Additionally, the Israeli military confirmed the death of a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen previously believed to be held hostage in Gaza, and the U.S. intelligence community's annual threat assessment suggested that Netanyahu's government may be in jeopardy after the war in Gaza.
