What is the latest news on Gaza?

Asked 1 hour ago

Answer

Gaza faces a deepening humanitarian crisis with severe shortages of food, rising prices, and widespread displacement. Despite a cease-fire and some aid, essentials remain unaffordable, and winter rains have worsened living conditions in makeshift camps. The UN Security Council has approved a US-backed resolution for Gaza stabilization, but tensions remain high. Investigations reveal forced transfers of Palestinians, and many families now rely on charity kitchens for survival.
