Thousands of Palestinians stormed a UN warehouse in Gaza amid a worsening hunger crisis, with reports of two deaths during the chaos as aid trickles in after a two-month blockade. The UN and Israel exchanged blame over aid distribution failures, with Israel accusing the UN of obstructing a new US-backed aid mechanism while the UN insisted it would not cooperate with it due to humanitarian principles. As the conflict enters its 600th day, calls for a ceasefire continue amidst rising casualties, with over 54,000 reported dead since the war escalated, predominantly civilians.
