Aid groups accuse Israel of ‘weaponizing aid' amid Gaza starvation
In this episode of W News Extra, presented by Leigh-Ann Gerrans, we report on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London ahead of a key US-Russia summit in Alaska. We also have the latest on the war in Gaza, where more than 100 nonprofit groups warn that Israel's new rules for aid agencies operating in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank will block vital relief and replace independent organizations with those aligned with Israel's political and military agenda. In a letter signed by Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, CARE, and others, the groups accuse Israel of 'weaponizing aid' as hunger grips war-torn Gaza and of using it as a tool to entrench control.
