Video captures Palestinians breaking into UN aid warehouse as famine conditions worsen
'Hordes of hungry people" broke into a UN warehouse in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza, in search of food according to the World Food Programme.

The UN organization said the incident reflected 'alarming and deteriorating conditions on the ground' directly linked to Israel's aid blockade. It comes as the United States readies new terms for a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Iran says it has seen no change in US position on sanctions yet
DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran's foreign ministry said on Monday it would have to see if there are changes in the U.S. position on sanctions, as the two countries negotiate a deal to resolve a decades-long dispute over Iran's nuclear ambitions.

"It must be clear to us how the oppressive sanctions against the Iranian people will be lifted, to ensure that past experiences are not repeated", he added. Oman's Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, who has been mediating between Iran and the Trump administration, presented elements of a U.S. proposal for a nuclear deal between Tehran and Washington during a short visit to Tehran on Saturday.
