UNICEF has issued a stark warning about the critical lack of food, water, and health services in Gaza, affecting thousands of children facing hunger and malnutrition. Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the UN’s food agency has paused the delivery of life-saving aid to northern Gaza due to security concerns. This decision comes as the US vetoes a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, arguing it would jeopardize efforts to broker a hostage deal. Meanwhile, Russia designates the US-funded broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty as an “undesirable organization,” escalating its crackdown on dissent.
