Israel is set to halt or slow humanitarian aid to northern Gaza as its military expands operations against Hamas, following the declaration of Gaza City as a combat zone. The move is expected to worsen already dire conditions for Palestinians, with recent strikes killing civilians and reports of growing famine and malnutrition. Aid deliveries, including airdrops and trucks, will be reduced as Israel prepares to evacuate hundreds of thousands of people south, raising concerns from international organizations about the feasibility and safety of such a mass movement. Meanwhile, the remains of a hostage taken during the initial attack that sparked the war have been identified, and families of hostages continue to demand a ceasefire amid fears for their loved ones' safety.
