Executive summary
Over the next 24 hours, humanitarian conditions in Gaza will deteriorate further as Israeli restrictions on aid entry persist, compounding shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies. Operational NGOs will report growing bottlenecks at crossing points and increased difficulty sustaining health and water services. Casualty figures may not spike immediately, but underlying health and food security indicators will degrade, setting the stage for more acute crises if restrictions continue.
