Israel pays Google to promote video about Gaza famine
The advert, published on Israel's Foreign Affairs Ministry's verified channel on YouTube, shows visuals of trucks and what appear to be stockpiles of aid. "While Israel cleared hundreds of trucks that crossed into Gaza, the UN refuses to distribute the aid. These trucks stand idle inside Gaza next to growing stockpiles of supplies. This is deliberate sabotage by the UN," the narrator says in the video.
Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 aid seekers in Gaza. Since morning, the Israeli military has killed more than 11 Palestinians, including at least four aid seekers.
At least 115 Palestinians have starved to death in the enclave due to the Israeli-imposed blockade.

Yemen's Houthis threaten to target ships linked to firms dealing with Israeli ports
Yemen's Houthis said on Sunday they would target any ships belonging to companies that do business with Israeli ports, regardless of their nationalities, as part of what they called the fourth phase of their military operations against Israel. In a televised statement, the Houthis' military spokesperson warned that ships would be attacked if companies ignored their warnings, regardless of their destination. "The Yemeni Armed Forces call on all countries, if they want to avoid this escalation, to pressure the enemy to halt its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip," he added. Since Israel's war in Gaza began in October 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have been attacking ships they deem as bound or linked to Israel in what they say are acts of solidarity with Palestinians. In May, the U.S. announced a surprise deal with the Houthis where it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to shipping attacks, though the Houthis said the deal did not include sparing Israel.

Oxfam warns that minor aid steps by Israel can't undo months of deliberate starvation
Oxfam International has criticised limited Israeli moves on aid access, warning they fall far short of what's needed to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. 'Deadly airdrops and a trickle of trucks won't undo months of engineered starvation in Gaza,' said Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam's policy lead for Israel and Palestine. She called for the full reopening of all border crossings to allow unimpeded aid delivery throughout the Gaza Strip and demanded a lasting ceasefire. 'What's needed is the immediate opening of all crossings for full, unhindered, and safe aid delivery across all of Gaza and a permanent ceasefire,' Khalidi said. 'Anything less risks being little more than a tactical gesture.'
