ICRC President Engages with Former Hamas Leader in Qatar Regarding Israeli Hostages in Gaza

Mirjana Spoljaric, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has confirmed meeting with former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar on two separate occasions.

She described these meetings as "tough discussions" and emphasized the necessity of their confidentiality. The ICRC President stated that the issue of visiting hostages is "much more complicated" than their return, and the organization operates within its available tools.

UN Highlights Critical Humanitarian Challenges in Gaza Amid Funding Shortfalls and Supply Restrictions

UN Highlights Critical Humanitarian Challenges in Gaza Amid Funding Shortfalls and Supply Restrictions

The United Nations and its humanitarian partners are continuing to deliver aid and respond to the needs of people in Gaza, despite significant ongoing challenges. Efforts include bringing in more fuel to sustain essential services and collecting medical, educational supplies, and food from the Kerem Shalom crossing. However, a severe lack of funding for fuel is threatening to slow down critical operations such as healthcare, water provision, rescue efforts, and debris removal. Water and sanitation support is also being hampered by funding shortfalls and restrictions on the entry of vital supplies, including engine oil, spare parts, and equipment needed for water-related vehicles and machinery. Maintenance issues at two desalination plants in southern Gaza have already led to reduced water production, resulting in rationing for approximately 500,000 people in Deir al Balah and Khan Younis. Across Gaza, about three out of four families depend on truck-delivered water until infrastructure can be fully restore...
