The United Nations' World Food Programme has halted "life-saving" food deliveries to northern Gaza due to continued gunfire by Israel and the breakdown of civil order. The suspension, which began three weeks ago following an attack on an aid truck, increases the risk of starvation in the region. The WFP said it attempted deliveries again this week but faced gunfire and hostility. Gaza has been facing an unprecedented crisis since October, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
