There are some commercial shipments, but very few people in Gaza have the money to buy food now after this war, lack of employment.
And another really shocking statistic, the UN estimates that a quarter of a million children are going to need treatment for acute malnutrition in 2026 this year.
I mean, absolutely.
I think it's, you know, you can question whether this should really be called a ceasefire because, you know, in a lot of places that rate of death that's, you know, over 100 people a month on average since the ceasefire began being killed would be considered an active conflict.
Many of the people being killed are civilians.
These are both shootings near the yellow line or the so-called yellow line that delineates the Israeli-controlled part of Gaza.
and airstrikes really across all of Gaza where Palestinians are still living.
I mean, last week, you know, coming back to this issue of the shortages of clean water, two drivers who take trucks of water from a water pipe to tented camps, where obviously people don't have any piped water,
shot when they were at the water collection point.
The Israeli response was that troops were acting in self-defense because they perceived a threat.
But certainly this is an area that should have been very much known as a humanitarian place where troops should be extra careful.
So there's been a really striking surge in violence by both Israeli settlers and Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank since the beginning of the war in Iran.
You know, people have spoken to diplomats, Israeli activists who monitor it say that their sense is that
the people behind this violence feel empowered by the fact that their own government and the world are very much focused on what's happening in Tehran, in the Strait of Hormuz.
The violence has got so bad that this isn't just something that's causing alarm among activists or critics.
very senior members of the Israeli establishment raising the highest level of alarm about this.
For instance, last week, Tamir Pardo, who was head of the Mossad intelligence agency under Netanyahu from 2011 to 2016, went to the occupied West Bank to see some of the places that have been attacked, meet some of the survivors.
On that trip, this is a man whose mother is a Holocaust survivor.
He said that the violence he saw reminded him of attacks on Jewish communities in Europe in the last century.
And being there, he felt ashamed to be Jewish.
