Seven days have marked five months since the start of fighting between Israel and the Islamic group Hamas, and more than 30,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip.
As the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, negotiations for a cessation of fighting have stalled, and it is unclear whether an agreement will be reached before the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan, which begins around the 10th of this month.

First death in Houthi missile attack on American ship?
Since November last year, Yemen's Houthi rebels have repeatedly attacked ships around the Red Sea in solidarity with the Islamic group Hamas, which continues to fight Israel.This month, a cargo ship was attacked. In addition to sinking, it has also attacked American and other ships attacking Houthi strongholds.
A Houthi spokesperson posted on social media on the 6th, ``Multiple missiles attacked an American ship in the Gulf of Aden.The attack caused a fire on the ship.''
According to Marine Traffic, which publishes the ship's location information, the ship is a Barbados-registered cargo ship.
According to local media, at least two crew members were killed and several others were injured in the attack, which is the first fatality since the Houthis launched a series of attacks around the Red Sea. I'm telling you.
Although the U.S. military and others have been conducting attacks on Houthi strongholds, attacks on ships by the Houthis have not subsided, and concerns about navigation around the Red Sea are increasing.
Negotiations for halting fighting are difficult; it is unclear whether things will be resolved before Ramadan
Israel and Hamas have been negotiating for a cessation of fighting and the release of hostages, with Qatar and other mediators acting as intermediaries.From the 3rd of this month, a Hamas negotiating team entered the Egyptian capital Cairo and held talks with Qatar, the mediating country. We are continuing discussions with Egypt and the United States.
While Israel is said to have accepted a six-week cessation of fighting on the condition that some hostages be released, Hamas remains committed to calling for a complete ceasefire, and negotiations appear to be at a difficult stage.
Mediating countries and the United States hope to reach an agreement from both sides before Ramadan begins around the 10th of this month, but it is unclear whether an agreement will be reached.
There is also information that children are being fed livestock feed in the Gaza Strip due to food shortages.
Israeli military attacks continued on the 6th in the Gaza Strip, and Gaza health authorities say 86 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 30,717.
It has become particularly difficult to bring in humanitarian aid supplies to the northern part of the country due to the effects of fighting and inspections by the Israeli military. It has also been revealed that there is information that people are feeding this to their children.
Footage taken on the 6th by a cameraman from NHK's Gaza office in Gaza City in the north shows many residents jumping on a truck loaded with humanitarian aid supplies as it heads towards the center of the city and stealing the supplies. This shows the seriousness of the situation.
