U.N. Suspends Food Aid in Rafah; U.S. Admits No Aid from New Pier Has Reached Gazans
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, the official death toll from Israel's war has topped 35,600 as
the humanitarian catastrophe intensifies. The United Nations has
suspended all food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah due
to escalating Israeli attacks and a lack of supplies. Meanwhile, the
Pentagon has admitted none of the humanitarian aid brought in from a new
U.S.-made pier in Gaza has actually been distributed to Palestinians.
