UN Warnings: The Risk of Famine in Gaza is Worsening The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) announced that the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip remains extremely high, given the ongoing restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid. The WFP noted that since May 19, it has been able to bring only limited quantities of life-saving aid into Gaza. Only 700 trucks have entered since aid resumed, compared to the 600 to 700 trucks that entered daily before the recent escalation. The WFP emphasized that preventing famine requires regular support for the people of Gaza by meeting their basic food needs. It emphasized that the entry of aid requires providing safe routes for convoys, expediting permit approvals, and opening crossings. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced that the ongoing hostilities and worsening hunger are pushing more than two million people in Gaza toward despair.

Army searches building in Hadath for Hezbollah weapons
by Naharnet Newsdesk 7 hours Army forces launched Tuesday a search in a building in a densely populated area of Hadath in Beirut's southern suburbs. A Lebanese military official said the forces were looking for weapons at the request of a five-member committee supervising the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. The building in the Sainte-Therese street had already been targeted during the the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war. Israel warned on Friday that it would keep up its strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, after it struck four locations in Dahieh on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. The Lebanese army condemned the airstrikes, warning that such attacks are weakening the role of Lebanon's armed forces that might eventually suspend cooperation with the committee monitoring the truce that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war. It said it had tried to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations after they were sent.
