1. The Israeli government continues to prevent the entry of aid into the stricken Gaza Strip, exacerbating the humanitarian suffering of more than 2 million displaced Palestinians in the Strip. It also continues to procrastinate in completing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement and escalates its violations, on the 52nd day of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

The United Nations has warned of serious repercussions for the civilian population in the Strip after Israel stopped supplying electricity to the devastated Strip, which has also been deprived of fuel shipments for more than a week.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stressed the need to immediately bring life-saving humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, Humanitarian Coordinator Muhannad Hadi stressed that any further delay in the entry of aid would undermine any progress achieved through the ceasefire in Gaza.

Hadi said that international humanitarian law is clear: the basic needs of civilians must be met, including through the unimpeded entry and distribution of humanitarian aid.

This comes as all eyes are on the Qatari capital, Doha, in anticipation of a new round of negotiations on Tuesday, as the Israeli negotiating delegation is scheduled to arrive, while the US envoy for hostage affairs, Adam Boehler, indicated the possibility of reaching a long-term truce in the Strip.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed the reconstruction of Gaza, adding that Rubio reiterated Washington's firm commitment that any solution to the situation in Gaza "must not include a role for Hamas."

Saudi Arabia and Qatar condemned Israel's cutting off of electricity to the Gaza Strip, calling on the international community to take action to stop Israeli "violations" of international humanitarian law.

Saudi Arabia called on the international community to take urgent measures to restore electricity and bring aid into the Gaza Strip "immediately without conditions or restrictions," renewing its call to activate international accountability mechanisms for these "serious violations."

Qatar, which contributed to mediation efforts to conclude a truce between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, considered that "Israeli policies based on besieging the Palestinians and preventing the arrival of humanitarian aid to them aim to impose starvation and explode the situation in the Strip."
