  • The Israel-Hamas war in Gaza is now in month 20, with no end in sight.

  • The war is grinding on,

  • and negotiations for a ceasefire for hostage exchange are officially ongoing,

  • but we haven't seen any breakthrough yet.

  • That's our colleague Anat Pellid.

  • She's been covering the conflict in Gaza.

  • and the humanitarian crisis that's unfolding there.

  • A crisis that's been getting worse.

  • Last week, a controversial new plan was put in place to help distribute aid.

  • It's backed by Israel and the U.S.,

  • and it promises to deliver food to Palestinians in Gaza.

  • But implementation has been mired in chaos and disorder.

  • Gazans who are very hungry and desperate and all of them trying to make their way to these centers and get food,

  • get boxes of food.

  • And what we've seen, you know, on the first day, the very first day of the launch.

  • We saw large crowds break into one of the distribution sites and there was looting and there was chaos and the American staff had to retreat.

  • And we know that the Israeli military fired warning shots.

  • Violence has broken out twice this week as Palestinians made their way to a distribution center.

  • More than 40 Gazans have been killed trying to get aid,

  • according to the Gaza Health Ministry, rescue services and witnesses.
