Israel’s measures do nothing to stop Gaza starvation crisis, say aid workers | First Thing

The UN has called for a full ceasefire and for Israel to allow humanitarian aid in. Plus, Trump accused of direct attack' on Brazilian democracy over judge sanctions

Good morning.

Aid workers have said Israel's new measures - meant to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza - fall far short of what is needed and aid access continues to be blocked amid the population's spiralling famine.

How much aid is now needed? The number of aid trucks that have been entering Gaza since the new measures were announced has increased, with more than 200 trucks entering on Tuesday, according to Israeli customs authority (COGAT). But it falls far below the 500-600 trucks the UN has said is necessary to sustain the 2 million residents of Gaza.

What did Harris say? I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their governor. ... But after deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for governor in this election."
