Humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip worsens; UNRWA urges supplies to be brought in by land. Local health authorities announce that three more children have died from malnutrition and dehydration, bringing the death toll to 23.
In order to alleviate food shortages, relief supplies are being dropped from the air, but their safety is being questioned, as five people died when the dropped supplies hit residents on the 8th. The United States and the European Union are making preparations for transport by sea, but preparations such as the construction of a wharf in the Gaza Strip are required.
